If you experience pain, inflammation, fever, or stiffness caused by certain conditions, you may benefit from ibuprofen. This medication is a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and works by blocking the effects of certain hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. As a result, ibuprofen can help relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and painful menstrual periods. It is available in prescription and non-prescription strengths.
