France has tighter restrictions on the sale of NSAIDs than other countries. Beginning this year, the products, including paracetamol and ibuprofen, aren’t available over-the-counter there.UK experts agree that acetaminophen is a preferable choice over NSAIDs in those at risk for COVID-19 because of the known safety reasons.
"In the UK, paracetamol would generally be preferred over NSAIDs such as ibuprofen to relieve symptoms caused by infection such as fever," he told the UK Science Media Center.
