| Consult your pharmacist. | 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. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you. | |||

| Add Midol review I honestly would get physically ill and so shaky I felt like I would pass out with my periods every month always at noon and it would take throwing up to make it stop. I took Midol for the first time a month ago just one tablet the pain the sweating the nausea it all stopped. I do have one semi negative thing and that is it makes me drowsy this is non pm and I do not think people should drive after taking two of these. My period is EXTREMELY painful and cramps are not the easiest things to handle during school. All I have to do is take 2 of the extra strength pills and my cramps are nonexistent for the entire day. | Add Motrin review It takes down the pain in my joints but it does make me drowsy. Used 800 mg for a toothache pain over a period of 10 days per dentists instructions. Kept the pain under control, was very pleased with the results. | |||
