| Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drug (NSAID) that can be purchased over the counter to treat inflammation
due to arthritis, mild pain, or to reduce fever. It can be found in different
forms such as tablet, liquid, capsule or liquid-gel capsule. It should
be taken as directed along with food to prevent stomach discomfort.
It is important to health and wellness because it provides a way to treat
pain without using a narcotic pain reliever, and it is inexpensive to buy
compared to a prescription medication. |
