Generic Ibuprofen-MotrinGeneric Ibuprofen also known as(Motrin ©, Advil ©, Rufen ©, Nuprin ©) is an antiinflammatory drug. Ibuprofen reduces inflammation and eases mild to moderate pain. It reduces fever and relieves the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatism), osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps or premenstrual pain and swelling. Generic Ibuprofen tablets and caplets are available. | |||||||
How should I take this medicineTake Ibuprofen tablets or caplets by mouth. Follow the directions on the label. Swallow tablets whole with a full glass of water; take tablets in an upright or sitting position. Taking a sip of water first, before taking the tablets, may help you swallow them. If possible take bedtime doses at least 10 minutes before lying down. Ibuprofen may be taken with food if it upsets your stomach. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed. | |||||||
What if I miss a doseIf you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses. | |||||||
Generic Ibuprofen-Motrin Side EffectsElderly patients are at increased risk for developing side effects. | |||||||
What should I watch for while taking ibuprofenLet your prescriber or health care professional know if your pain continues, do not take with other pain-killers without advice. Do not treat yourself for a fever with Ibuprofen for more than 3 days, or for pain for more than 10 days without asking your prescriber or health care professional for advice. You may be covering up a more serious illness. To reduce unpleasant effects on your throat and stomach, take Ibuprofen with a full glass of water and never just before lying down. If you notice black, tarry stools or experience severe stomach pain and vomit blood or what looks like coffee grounds, notify your health care prescriber immediately. If you are taking medicines that affect the clotting of your blood, such as aspirin or blood thinners such as Coumadin, talk to your health care provider or prescriber before taking this medicine. You may get dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how Ibuprofen affects you. Do not sit or stand up quickly, especially if you are an older patient. This reduces the risk of dizzy or fainting spells. Do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol; these may increase the irritation to your stomach when taking this medicine. It is especially important not to use Ibuprofen during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless specifically directed to do so by your health care provider. Ibuprofen may cause problems in the unborn child or complications during delivery. | |||||||
