Ibuprofen vs Vioxx
 | Ibuprofen |  | Vioxx |  |
| Ibuprofen is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headache, dental pain, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, or arthritis. It is also used to reduce fever and to relieve minor aches and pain due to the common cold or flu. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever. | Consult your pharmacist. | |||

| Add Ibuprofen review I have a nerve pinched in socket of shoulder. So I have pain at joint, radiating numbess to middle finger. Ibuprofen usually works, I was prescribed 800MG 3 times daily. Occasionally the pain exceeds the strength of the meds. I went in for a CAT scan the other day on throat and from a small IV recieved a bruise 4 inches long, and 1 inch wide. I am also expierencing nausea pretty much full time. I ... sore back around kendiys Used after operation for broken arm. Pretty useless to relieve pain. Prescribed by doctor. The ibuprofen can only remedy so much especially with the inflammation. It is hard when it wears off about 4 hours later because the pain comes back even more intense. The pain that I am treating is bulging discs. I do not know what else to do because the hardcore pain medicine cannot be used at work since it causes sleepiness. Very effective Not as good as the 800 mg but overall good on common head and body pain | Add Vioxx review no advirse troubles when using this drug. I had relief and was able to move much better. I have a variety of back issues, arthritis, etc and nothing has worked like Vioxx. I wish something was as effective but now I take Vicodin for the pain, which I really hate to do. When I was on vioxx,Oral, I had no problems. It eased my pain (lower back disc) and I was very upset that it went off the market. Since then, I have been given less than adaquate drugs for my back. I wish they would do more studies with more people than just a few complainers before stripping medicine that works for most than just the few. I say do another study and stop cry babies that just want to make a buck. | |||
