Ibuprofen is a drug
that is widely used and prescribed as a painkiller. It is
also used to treat some forms of arthritis. It is marketed
under the trade names Advil, Motrin and Nuprin.
Like aspirin,
ibuprojen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drug (NSAID); long-term use of NSAIDs can cause serious side
effects, particularly in people who are taking anti-coagulant
drugs to reduce risk of stroke.
