Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Motrin IB is a well-known brand of Ibuprofen, a medication that falls under the category of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ibuprofen works by blocking certain chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation and pain. It is commonly used to help reduce fever and relieve various pains and aches, such as those associated with dental pain, muscle aches, or menstrual cramps. Motrin IB may offer relief from the discomfort that stems from conditions like arthritis or minor injuries, working as both an anti-inflammatory and an analgesic agent.

It's important to follow the specified guidelines on the medication package for the appropriate Motrin IB dosage. Adults and children aged 12 years and older typically take one 200 mg tablet every 4 to 6 hours while symptoms persist. If the pain or fever does not improve after one tablet, two tablets may be taken. However, do not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours unless directed by a healthcare professional.
The active ingredient in Motrin IB is Ibuprofen.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
Many people may encounter some common side effects when taking Motrin IB. Side effects might include headaches, feeling dizzy, or experiencing heartburn. Some people report stomach pain, as well as nausea or vomiting. It’s not unusual to encounter bloating or gas, and sometimes even diarrhea or constipation can arise. Some people might also feel fatigued or find themselves experiencing mild rashes.
Serious side effects that may arise with the use of Motrin IB warrant immediate medical attention. They include issues such as severe allergic reactions, symptoms of which are swelling of the face or throat, trouble breathing, or hives. In addition, the drug may cause stomach or intestinal bleeding signified by tarry stools or coughing up blood. High blood pressure, kidney problems, and severe skin reactions such as blisters or peeling, though less common, are potential risks as well. If experiencing signs of a heart attack or stroke, like chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance, seek immediate medical help.
