Take Ibuprofen after Pfizer COVID vaccine??

Some sites have introduced IBU as a precaution against side effects of vaccines

Excessive generalization

Pharmacists were in trouble whenever they consult with patients on medication

Following Tylenol, the purchase of related drugs is increasing as Ibuprofen-containing painkillers have been raised to prevent side effects of COVID vaccines in certain companies.

 

According to outpatient pharmacies on the 6th, patients who have recently been vaccinated (Pfizer vaccines) have frequently sought Ibuprofen-containing anti-inflammatory drugs.

 

If manufacturers have purchased Tylenol before or after COVID vaccine, they have recently been looking for Ibuprofen, particularly IBU 600mg, among Pfizer vaccine or Moderna vaccine.

 

The reason why people only look for Ibuprofen is that videos of some specialists have been affecting online or YouTube recently.

 

This is because some media have suggested that myocarditis, and pericarditis caused by Moderna vaccine or Pfizer vaccine should be prevented by Ibuprofen's anti-inflammatory action.

 

Some of the experts who actually run YouTube recommend taking Ibuprofen if they find chest pain after vaccination or prevention of myocarditis, one of the possible side effects of Pfizer vaccine.

 

Pharmaceutical companies with Ibuprofen also posted advertisements in online malls exclusively for pharmacists to take medicine for abnormal reactions such as fever and pain after vaccination.

 

A pharmacist in Seoul said, "There are quite a few patients who get Ibuprofen 600mg," explaining on YouTube that it is good to take Ibuprofen-containing anti-inflammatory pain medication for muscle pain after getting the shot.

 

"I dion't know how to explain this," he said.

 

As the number of patients wishing to purchase Ibuprofen-containing anti-inflammatory painkillers before vaccination increases, many pharmacists are also explaining the related information through blogs and YouTube.

 

Outpatient pharmacists are struggling with medication guidance to patients who believe in in information that has not been immediately confirmed.

 

Another pharmacist in Seoul said, "Acetaminophen was initially recommended after COVID vaccine because it was believed that taking anti-inflammatory anti-inflammatory drugs could interfere with antibody formation.

 

If there are any side effects to Acetaminophen, it is okay to take other anti-inflammatory drugs.

 

However, it is not true to say that Ibuprofen is the only drug after the Pfizer vaccination.

 

Another pharmacist said, "Patients mistakenly believe that Pfizer vaccine can lead to cardiomyopathy, and that Ibuprofen can cure myocarditis" However, if the patient still wants to take Ibuprofen, we have no choice but to do so.
