Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to help reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It works by blocking substances in the body that cause swelling and pain.

It is commonly used for headaches, muscle aches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, arthritis, and minor injuries. Use it as directed and check with a clinician if you have stomach ulcers, kidney disease, heart disease, or take blood thinners.
