Ibuprofen is an
NSAID used to treat
fever and minor aches and
pains. It works by reducing inflammation. Ibuprofen is a generic medication, and is available both over-the-counter and by prescription depending on the strength. Over-the-counter brands include
Advil and
Motrin IB. Prescription
Motrin had the same active ingredient, but has been discontinued. Ibuprofen should be used only when needed as it may increase
risk of stroke or
heart attack and long term use can cause stomach
bleeding and ulcers. Get Ibuprofen Non-Prescription for as low as $2.00, which is 83% off the average retail price of $11.86 for the most common version, by using a GoodRx coupon.
