Can ibuprofen improve drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment?

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260703/Can-ibuprofen-improve-drug-resistant-tuberculosis-treatment.aspx Could a common over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drug become a new weapon against drug-resistant tuberculosis? Early findings suggest immune benefits, but larger trials are needed to determine whether these translate into improved patient outcomes. Adding ibuprofen to standard treatment for highly drug-resistant tuberculosis did not improve clinical outcomes in a pilot trial, although the anti-inflammatory drug showed signs of reducing inflammation, according to a study published in Nature Communications.
