Irina Vereyutina, a neurologist and head of the psycho-neurological department of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Polyclinic No. 4”, gave recommendations on taking certain drugs for coronavirus infection.

To alleviate the condition associated with a rise in temperature, as well as relieve pain, Vereyutina does not recommend the use of aspirin, as well as non-steroidal drugs, one of which is analgin.

“When a coronavirus is diagnosed, and in the presence of a high temperature, it is extremely important to remember that self-medication in this case can be extremely dangerous for health and life.. If there is a need to lower the temperature, it is better to use paracetamol in this case.. the use of any anti-inflammatory drugs, including non-steroidal ones - is not allowed. All the necessary drugs for the treatment of this infection can be taken only as directed by a doctor, ”the neurologist shared..

Vereyutina also added that patients with COVID-19 who have severe forms of the course may experience neurological symptoms in the form of dizziness and headache..
