What is Motrin
IbuprofenThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryIbuprofen is a common pain reliever that was first developed in 1960 as a safer alternative to aspirin. It was officially patented in 1961 and became available for use in the UK in 1969 and the US in 1974. Ibuprofen is a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and is usually sold as a racemic mixture. The S-enantiomer of ibuprofen is believed to be more effective at reducing pain than the R-enantiomer.

Effectiveness
How Motrin Affects PatientsIbuprofen is used to reduce pain, fever and inflammation. It works by blocking the substances that cause these issues (prostanoids) from being produced by the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. It also helps to reduce swelling, and has been found to increase beta-endorphin levels in the blood. Ibuprofen is commonly used to treat dysmenorrhea, migraines, and joint pain, and has been found to reduce neurodegeneration when taken in low doses over a long period of time. It has also been linked to a decrease in the rate of breast cancer by 50
How Motrin works in the bodyIbuprofen works by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase, which is involved in making substances that cause pain and fever. Ibuprofen is a non-selective inhibitor, meaning it blocks both COX-1 and COX-2. Blocking COX-2 reduces the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, fever, and swelling. Blocking COX-1 can cause side effects like stomach ulcers.

Motrin Reviews: What are patients saying about Motrin?
5Patient Review
1/14/2020 I was surprised at how quickly Motrin took effect. I only needed to take one gel capsule and, 12 hours later, I'm still feeling a bit groggy but that's a small price to pay for its efficacy.
5Patient Review
11/19/2010 I have to take 800mg three or four times a day, which can be tough. I also take Tramadol though.
5Patient Review
6/7/2013 I had a knee replacement and was worried about the pain. This treatment really helped me though, and I didn't have to worry about it at all.
5Patient Review
5/21/2012 I have nerve damage in my right arm and hand. The nerves are healing, but in the meantime I experience pulses of pain, pins and needles, as well as a burning sensation.

3Patient Review
7/12/2012 Motrin 600mg is the medication I am currently taking for my back pain. I originally got it from the ER after pulling a muscle, but it's not as effective as I'd hoped.
2.7Patient Review
1/25/2014 I found that this drug really helped me push through my workout. I could easily go another two hours on the treadmill after taking it. However, I much prefer to inject steroids directly into my calves at this point.

2/17/2011 This medication effectively reduced the swelling in my ear caused by an infection.
Patient Q&A Section about motrin
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.Is Motrin the same as ibuprofen or Tylenol?
"Tylenol, Advil, and Aleve are all pain relievers that can be found on drugstore shelves. The active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen, while the active ingredient in both Advil and Motrin is ibuprofen. The active ingredient in Aleve is naproxen."
Answered by AI
Is Motrin & Tylenol the same?
"The two drugs have different active ingredients and thus belong to different drug classes. Tylenol is an analgesic that relieves pain, and it is also an antipyretic, which means it reduces fever. Motrin, on the other hand, is an NSAID, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Both drugs can cause nausea, stomach pain, skin itching or rash, and headache, among other side effects."
Answered by AI
What is a Motrin used for?

Answered by AI
