COVID 19 infection.: Don't know why you would need to take something so strong. Myprodol contains Ibuprofen, Paracetamol & Codeine phosphate. Codeine is an opiate. Opiates usually are not indicated in COVID 19 infects. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion. paracetamol or NSAID can be used to reduce fever.
