Ibuprofen Drug and Medication User Reviews
I had chills,pain in my lower body.after I took this medication made me feel so good. Works great.
Broken finger it healed broken now having lots of pain. This medication doesn’t work at all
I took this medication to relieve the pain from various joint injuries sustained 15 to 40 years ago. I found it works very well. I did have a serious side effect. This is in no way related to the drug itself but the necessity to follow the dosage directions. I started have flu like symptoms on top of the normal cold weather aches and pains I have every year. I got a bit loose with the dosage and developed some kidney problems that required medical attention. I do think that when taken as directed, this is a very effective medication for minor pain. I have been told to only take acetaminophen now which is absolutely useless for my pain issues.
I have suffered with headaches all my life and this medication is the only thing that has given me a better quality of life. I have severe anxiety and am afraid of most pills as i am very sensitive to them. The only side effects is gas and sometimes constipation if i am using frequently.
Completely clears my skin from acne. Figured it out by accident when I had to take it for my wisdom tooth removal. Only thing that will clear it, but I found Boswellia to use instead as a natural alternative with less side effects.
I used 800 mg for lower back pain resulting from long car trips. I drove straight through 12 hrs the other day without back pain. No side effects. Works great for me, and had it recommended by two others with chronic back pain. I do not take the drug on a regular basis, only for long car trips.
I use it for tooth pain. Had two teeth pulled and it helps relieve pain. My Mom's Doctor told her not to take ibuprofen since she had a bleeding ulcer and he blamed it on this drug. he suggested Tylenol arthritis strength. I am having side effects right now; dizziness, stomach ache, and hard to focus. I stopped taking it and will call my doctor if the side effects persists.
My neck is fused (C2-6) and I have degenerative disc disease and arthritis in it. When taking ibuprofen 800 mg I become extremely agitated, suffer sleeplessness, and anxious. Will not use again at any dosage.
I have found this is the only thing that relieves menstrual cramps for me. Also take it for back pain. :) I have noticed that mayyyyyybe, it may be making me extremely sleepy hours later.
I have taken ibuprofen for decades for chronic joint pain due to congenital joint defomities and severe DJD. I take it in conjunction with narcotic pain meds and it clearly gives additional pain relief, as it helps decrease inflamation. I do not advise crushing and snorting though, as it burns the nose and throat and is of no recreational value.
very effective at relieving pain and no side effects whatsoever, have never had a problem with stomach irritation. have taken with or without food, absolutely no difference for me.
Better than M&M's, but ineffective for anything more serious than a paper cut.
I take this for sinus headaches and/or general joint or muscle pain. I only have to take one (1) tablet which is enough to help pain subside; If I have a bad headache, i take 2 together to knock out the headache and repeat 3 to 4 hours later to completely eliminate the pain. I drink plenty of water when I take this....no stomach upset.
I like it but don't like that it is a blood thinner.
It was suggested that I try Ibuprofen for low back and knee pain last year, and was told I could use the generic, over the counter form, in lieu of the prescription strengths, if needed. For flair-ups I was taking as many as 12 per day (far less than was recommended)with very little beneficial results. However, within 3 months I landed in the hospital with diverticulitis, for which Ibuprofen can be a major contributor. Be careful!
Quite effective
I have had good results with joint pain, etc. My cardiologist does not recommend it for long term use
I have enlarged prostrate with pain when urinate and when I do not urinate I take one 400MG pill all symptoms are gone for most of the day. The doctors say Motrin should not have any effect and if I take it regularly it would damage my kidneys. Has anyone had this experience using this treatment for BPH. It works for me Only worry is kidney damage
I use this in place of my pain medicine. It helps make my days bearable; cuts down on taking pain medicine.
Only used it once became very dizzy, even had a fall while walking
