There has been no adverse reaction from covid 19 and Ibuprofen.
I've also seen a doctor on television saying that Ibuprofen should NOT be taken but instead to take paracetamol. Apparently Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory which compromises a person's own immune system and prevents it from working to full capacity providing the necessary means to fight the virus.
I take medication after having a heart attack a while ago, I know I cannot take Ibuprofen as it negates the effects of one of the three tablets I take daily. Not sure which one so will not make a guess.
I found the link below after searching for NHS advice on this, there is a lot of information to be found though:
