Motrin

Motrin is a brand name for ibuprofen, a common over-the-counter medication used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). People use Motrin to alleviate headaches, muscle aches, back pain, menstrual cramps, or minor injuries. It works by blocking the production of chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. While generally safe when used as directed, it’s important to follow dosing instructions and consult a healthcare provider if you have certain medical conditions or take other medications.
