There are two brand-name Ibuprofen products on the market, Advil and Motirn. Both are good products, but are much more expensive than their generic counterparts Member's Mark - Ibuprofen Pain Reliever/Fever Reducer 200 mg, 1000 Tablets (Twin Pack).
Motrin (Ibuprofen) is a good over the counter analgesic (pain reliever) that works on mild to moderate pain. It comes in 200 milligam tablets/capsules. For most mild aches, it can be quite effective. Not only does Ibuprofen relieve pain, but it also is a good anti-inflammatory medication (it lessens swelling). Thus it is also good for arthritis pain, any joint or muscle sprains or strains, and good for toothache pain too.
I find teh name somewhat misleading, as there is a prescription product, called "motrin", but it is a 400 mg tablet. Thus, if two tablets of this product are taken. it is equivalent to prescription-strength Motrin. Three tablets, i.e. 600 mg, is for moderate to moderately severe pain. All three doses, 200, 400, and 600 mg can be taken every 4 hours as needed for pain. Four tablets is the highest prescribed dose (800 mg), and should only be taken once every 6 hours. Please note: Consult with your doctor if you plan to take a dose higher than 200 mg.
Ibuprofen can cause stomach upset and mild stomach bleeding, therefore, always take it with a large cup of water and to minimize gastric upset, eat something with it, like some yogurt, some applesauce, a piece of toast, etc. The extra food will help protect your gut.
LIke any medication, Ibuprofen should not be taken day after day for an extended period of time without a doctor's supervision. Ibuprofen in higher doses or low continuous doses can damage your liver and kidneys. If you are planning to use Ibuprofen for only a few days, you should be able to tolerate 2-3 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed (provided you are a generally healthy adult, are not allergic to Ibuprofen, have no existing liver or kidney disease, and have no stomach ulcers or chronic gut conditions like IBS. If you have heart disease, consult your doctor before using in higher doses.
I gave this 4-stars for a quality product. Since there are generic equivalents at nerly half the price, this is not 5-stars due to the price - good product, but more expensive.
