Although there are few, if any, studies regarding the COVID vaccine’s interaction with ibuprofen or acetaminophen, researchers have their own assumptions as to what could happen should the two have a face-off.
For example, Ashley Ellis, PharmD, director of clinical operations for Compwell believes using over-the-counter medications before a COVID vaccine could blunt your body’s immune response because these OTC medications work as anti-inflammatories and block a pathway called the cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) enzyme”. Your body needs these enzymes to make B-lymphocytes, which in turn, produce high volumes of antibodies against COVID, the common flu and other viruses that a vaccine provides protection against.
