motrin

Motrin (ibuprofen) is a widely-used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for treating pain, inflammation, and fever. It is commonly used to manage headaches, menstrual cramps, muscle pain, and arthritis symptoms. Motrin works by inhibiting the enzymes that produce prostaglandins, reducing pain and inflammation in the body.

While generally safe for short-term use, Motrin can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, stomach ulcers, and in rare cases, kidney problems if used for prolonged periods. It is important to follow dosing instructions carefully to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
