Ibuprofen belongs to the class of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is used for the relief of mild to moderately severe pain accompanied by inflammation. It can be used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It can also help relieve pain from menstrual cramps, headaches, muscular aches and pain, and dental pain. Ibuprofen can also relieve fevers. In children under 12, ibuprofen is used for fever and pain due to colds, sore throat, immunization, and earache.

Doses

The recommended adult dose of ibuprofen for mild to moderate pain and inflammation or menstrual cramps is 400 mg with food or milk, repeated as required every four to six hours. The maximum daily dose is 2,400 mg

The dose of Advil ibuprofen for children is based on body weight. Ibuprofen pediatric suspension is often used for young children and for adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Always shake the suspension well before using. Acetaminophen should not be used at the same time as ibuprofen for relief of fevers.

It is very important that this medication be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. A common side effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Advil ibuprofen is stomach upset. This can be minimized by taking the medication immediately after a meal, or with food or milk. If you miss a dose of this medication, take it as soon as you remember it. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and carry on with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
