Prudent use of NSAIDs in patients with COVID-19, Dengue, and Chikungunya

Abstract

NSAIDs are most common pharmacological options for pain management, although their use is questionable in many viral diseases like COVID-19, Dengue, and Chikungunya. Newer studies suggest limiting their use in such cases and also reinforces more careful considerations in patients with liver and kidney injuries or concurrent administration with other drugs/ nutraceuticals such as antioxidants or SSRIs.
