What Ibuprofen is

An NSAID (a non-steroid anti-inflammatory) that eases pain, swelling and fever by blocking chemicals the body makes at the site of an injury. The 600 mg and 800 mg tablets are prescription strengths.

What it’s for

Pain and swelling from arthritis, injuries, back pain, dental pain and menstrual cramps.

How it’s taken

By mouth with food or milk, usually 3 or 4 times a day. Lower strengths (200 mg) are sold over the counter as Advil and Motrin, so check labels to avoid doubling up.

Good to know

It carries a boxed warning: NSAIDs can cause stomach or gut bleeding without warning, and raise the risk of heart attack and stroke. Black or bloody stool, vomiting blood, chest pain, or weakness on one side or slurred speech: call 911. Use extra care with kidney disease, blood thinners, or late pregnancy.
