Abstract

Emerging evidence suggests that the most serious complications of covid-19 are sepsis and cardiovascular or respiratory complications. They occur predominantly in elderly people and those with underlying health conditions.1 Does use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) increase these risks? We don’t know for certain, but additional risks are plausible on the current balance of evidence.
