Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and decrease inflammation. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as headache, toothache, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, and arthritis.
Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. This helps to reduce symptoms such as pain, swelling, and fever.
Ibuprofen is available over-the-counter (OTC) in lower doses and by prescription in higher doses. It can be taken orally as a tablet, capsule, or liquid, and is usually taken every 4-6 hours as needed.
While generally safe and effective when used as directed, ibuprofen can cause side effects such as stomach upset, heartburn, and nausea. It can also increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially if taken in large doses or for a long period of time. It is important to use ibuprofen only as directed and to talk to a healthcare provider before using it if you have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or stomach ulcers.
