Don’t Take These Meds Before or After Your COVID Vaccine, CDC Warns
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen before getting the vaccine could affect its efficacy
As mentioned earlier, Ibuprofen can be found under popular brand names like Advil and Motrin, while acetaminophen can be found under the brand name Tylenol. These are generally taken by people to relieve their day-to-day pains or discomfort, which is why some might also believe they can rely on these OTC meds to prevent the possible post-vaccine side effects.
