MOTRIN  (IBUPROFEN):  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.   FDA Approval Date: 1985-05-22 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  musculer-skeletal injury gastritis, spasming, intense pain, constipation, These side effects decreased dramatically after I stopped the Motrin. During this time, I went through several invesitgations trying to find the source of the gastrointestinal pain. All tests came back negative. Unfortuneately, these side effects were almost as bad as the pain I was taking the drug for. F 57 3 weeks

 5  herniated disc in neck After only 2 weeks I experienced the worst upper stomach pain that I have ever had. This along with belching tremendous amounts of air. Both symptoms flared after falling asleep. Both symptoms lasted for 4 hours in the nights even with taking antacids. This along with incredible constipation. Not even metamusil or senna moved the bowels but aggrevated the stomach more. Having stopped, I am still enduring symptoms sporadically. I had another episode last evening after being off for almost two weeks. I was doubled over in pain. At the end of taking this medication for two weeks, I had so much pain that I found it difficult to walk. The lower ribs in the back were killing me. And all of this from taking motrin after I told the doctor I was allergic to aspirin and he stated it would be OK to take the motrin. What a fool I was to believe him. This comes from an orthopaedic surgeon. I am so sorry I trusted him to perscribe the correct medication for me. And I was cutting the pill in half to not take the whole amount he perscribed CAUTION reccommended. DO NOT TRY if you are allergic to aspirin, even if the doctor says it is OK. M 53 2 weeks
