Today was vaccination day for Cerridwen. Got the Moderna....and was told not to take Advil.
My pharmacist was taken aback when I told her as she has also had the Moderna vaccine and nobody mentioned not taking Advil to her. Needless to say, she took Advil for side effects and is fine..
.It rather threw me a bit and I asked my vaccinating nurse 3x about it as the OTC meds I take for horrendous allergies along with prescription meds are, of course, ibuprofen-based.
Rather interesting.....she even wrote Tylenol for side effects on my vaccination record sheet.
I realize that there are a few studies that suggest that perhaps ibuprofen/pain killers can possibly affect the efficacy of Moderna but there's nothing seemingly carved in stone about it.
A case of CYA or 'Just in case'?
Anybody else receive this "Do not take Advil" admonition along with their Moderna vaccine?
