User Reviews for Ibuprofen

I think it has helped with the daily ache and pain. Does not seem to help much during night time sleeping. Also not sure about side effects.

I usually take 1 ibuprofen before going to be each night after consuming 1-2 glasses of wine.

took 800 mgx3 due to fibromyalgia for over two yrs-now I have developed severe hearing loss in one ear--scared to take it anymore but I don't know what I will do for the pain. I hope this is a temporary loss of hearing.

Dr. prescribed Ibuprofen 800 to be taken before my endometrial biopsy. I did and then took it again 16 hours later for pain and 1 more time 12 hours after that. I have never had any allergic reaction to regular ibuprofen before but this was causing faintness, nausea, and the absolute worse red rash that has spread across my abdomen, breasts, back, inner thighs and neck. Dr. gave me antihistamines, does not think it is the drug caused the rash but I stopped taking it anyway. The dizziness, faintness, and nausea have subsided but the rash is still on my abdomen and parts of my back and cartilage of one of my ears. It is so itchy! It worked for pain but NOT worth it for the side effects. I will not be taking it or the basic OTC ibuprofen again.Read More Read Less

When I take advil it makes me sweat

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 have no other options though, due to my career.

sore back around kendiys

Used after operation for broken arm. Pretty useless to relieve pain. Prescribed by doctor.

A little background: I'm type II diabetic, have had five (5) knee surgeries and three (3) myocardial infarctions (heat attacks), so Ibuprofen is not recommended for me. My internist refuses to let me take it, however after consulting with both of my cardiologist's and my electro physiologist-cardiologist, they have agreed to let me take 200 mg three days a week (Mon, Wed & Fri) to allow me to ride my bicycle, which is necessary to keep my weight down. I wear a compression/'knee warmer' on my left knee which helps, but still need the ibuprofen to be able to ride in excess of 45 minutes. I wear a heart rate monitor and check my blood pressure while riding too. My heart doctors feel my risk is minimal and I think the risk is acceptable to be able to do what I love. As stated, the Ibuprofen, even just 200mg, works wonders for me. I am extremely satisfied with the effectiveness of the 200 mg dose of Ibuprofen.Read More Read Less

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

I was wondering how many ibuprofens in one day is safe and if it could cause a type of thrush in the area of gums

I have soreness in my knees from arthritis and this alleviates the pain by taking one a day

Take 200mg before bed to relieve muscle and joint pain.Seems to help.

constipation

Always prevent GI problems before they happen by taking IBP with food.

Excellent back pain relief. Sore stomach even taken with food.

Sore muscles and joints, feeling ten years older than I am (67). When this happens I take ibuprophen, 200mg 3x per day for 5 days. No more pain, feel ten years younger. Have been doing this once or twice a year for 16 years. Asperin works for me too, no apparent side effects for either at this dosage and length of time used. Only thing I've noticed is some constipation. Ibuprophen now comes in 400mg form, I take it twice a day. I came to this site to see if there might be more subtle side-effects I was missing. So far, have not noticed any.Read More Read Less
