BY FRANK ROMANELL ASSOCIATE DEAN IN UK COLLEGE OF PHARMACY LEXINGTON — There is plenty of information floating around the Internet about what medications may or may not be useful in treating the symptoms associated with COVID-19. The extent of the pandemic, coupled with our digital capabilities, is leading to a tremendous quantity of information reaching both individuals and healthcare workers regarding COVID-19. In this ever-evolving situation, it’s important to stay updated with information from reliable sources. It has been reported that the use of ibuprofen could worsen the severity of COVID-19 for individuals diagnosed with the disease. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) released the following statement: “At present, based on currently available information, WHO does not recommend against the use of ibuprofen. We are also consulting with physicians treating COVID-19 patients and are not aware of reports of any negative effects of ibuprofen, beyond the usual known side effects that limit its use in certain populations.” M ay 2020 LARRY SEARS NICHOLS Republican For State Senate - June 23rd BOYLE, LINCOLN, & PULASKI Counties • 100% Pro-Life & Pro-Family • Pro-2nd Amendment (NRA member) • Term Limits & Limited Government LARRY SEARS NICHOLS • A teacher, evangelist, & coach • Volunteer Prison Chaplain I Support All Law Enforcement, First Responders, Teachers & Administrators Cell # 606-875-5686 AUTHOR “I’m No Appalachian Shade Tree” & “Uncle Sam Meets King Jesus” Wife: Wanda Webb Nichols Son: Dr. Joshua Eric Nichols Daughter: Rachel Nichols Dickey PLEASE VOTE NICHOLS June 23rd Paid for by Larry Sears Nichols I n T ouch with S outhern K entucky • 33
