Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. It is commonly used to treat headaches, muscle pain, joint pain, menstrual cramps, toothaches, arthritis, and injuries. It helps make daily activities more comfortable by reducing swelling and pain.

Ibuprofen works by blocking certain chemicals in the body called prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandins, Ibuprofen lowers pain and swelling, helping the body feel more comfortable.

Common side effects include stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, mild headache, or dizziness. Rare but serious side effects include stomach ulcers, bleeding, kidney problems, high blood pressure, or allergic reactions. Seek immediate medical help if you notice severe stomach pain, black stools, swelling, or shortness of breath.
