Ibuprofen Reviews

On 17th December last year I was up at the crack of dawn - 6am to be precise. You see, my brother was getting married that day. My day was planned. My partner was going to drop me round my sister's place at 8am for her to drive me to Essex where the wedding was taking place. At 7am I came running into the kitchen to get some warm water to take the ...

I don't take many medicines unless I feel I really need them. I'm not against the use of them I just feel that a lot of people use things particularly drugs i.e. painkillers too often and hence there effectiveness is affected. My painkiller of choice had always been paracetamol until this little gem of a pill came along. I found that ...

This morning I was very inspired to write this op, why? Well I'll go onto that a little later, why don't we just have a chat about what exactly Ibuprofen is? Ibuprofen is primarily a pain reliever or know as a NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), it is great for reducing swelling, i.e. after a sprained ankle, it is also ...

What do you do when you are in pain? The most excruciating, awful, unbearable pain? I know what I do. I reach for the Ibuprofen. A lot of people don’t like to put drugs into their bodies. But there are times when pain relief is necessary and you have to self medicate. Sometimes, you might get a little headache and all you need ...

Right, I've torn myself away from my master's thesis just long enough to write this opinion. Please excuse me if I start wittering on in academic language (if this happens then I apologise in advance) but I have spent longer than I care to think about on it by now! Anyway, today's story is going to be about ibuprofen - but ...

I have taken Ibuprofen many times over the last few years, for muscular pain and inflammation, as well as common headaches and migraines. The doctors also recommended it to me after I was in great pain (or was I being pathetic?!) after having my wisdom teeth cut out of my gums... nice! Obviously medicines affect different people in different ...

I am a clumsy person at the best of times but yesterday I excelled myself! I had already twisted my ankle slightly a couple of weeks ago and thought that it was OK now, but I was wrong. Suddenly it gave way beneath me and I fell heavily twisting my ankle as I fell and landing with my whole weight on it. Ouch does not begin to describe the pain I ...

Why shell out for Nurofen when you can buy the generic, Ibuprofen, for a fraction of the price and it does the job just as well? The price of Nurofen is inflated by it being a brand name in fancy packaging. Buy a shop’s own brand, in basic packaging, and you get the same medication with the same useful information sheet at an average price ...

Ibuprofen is great for back aches as it gets rid of inflammation/ swelling. Should not be taken on an empty stomach as it can irritate but rather with or after food or even a glass of milk. Its great when combined with a conventional pain killer like Paracetamol- 400 mg Ibuprofen with one gram Paracetamol. They work together to ...

Everyone knows that Calpol is brilliant for easing pain in small children. I have found though, that when my children are very ill, then the effects are very short lived. Ibuprofen comes into its own as it can be given as well as Calpol. You can give it to you child at the same time so you have double the pain killer or give it ...
