Asthma anti inflamatories

[Shunalou]

As an asthmatic on a pink preventative and a blue reliever which are anti inflamatories it worries me that the news states that if anti inflamatories are taken naming ibupofen is harder to cure Covid 19. The advice is to take paracetamol but what about anti inflammatory inhalers.

In short, most preventative inhalers (including your pink one) are steroidal anti-inflammatories, whereas the anti-inflammatories the news is on about are NON-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) the blue reliever isn’t an anti-inflammatory, it’s a bronchodilator so it opens up the airways. I hope this makes sense?
