Advice & Tips
It takes a few doses of Motrin to really start to get rid of inflammation, which can be bothersome.

Advice & Tips
I take Motrin to reduce the swelling in my muscles from spasms, which is usually caused by any sort of strenuous activity. It's the only thing I can take while working that won't make me drowsy or scatterbrained, which is usually somewhat of a help to tithe me over until I get home to relax. The pain reduction isn't much to speak of, but it's better than nothing! I try not to take Motrin when I've had a lot of caffeine, or if I've taken Excedrin for headaches.

Advice & Tips
The biggest problem with taking this particular medication is that is must be taken with food, so I had to plan to take it around mealtimes. There are alot of days that I do not eat 3 or 4 times a day so I was not able to take as directed.

After taking 3-4 200mg tablets every 4-6 hours for several months, I began to experience side effects like stomach bleeding and a rash. I had been taking Ibuprofen steadily for years, and now take Aleve.

Advice & Tips
Try to keep daily dose as noted for product. You can however take more than one pill at a time to do this. Just make sure you have eaten and that you don't have or may be prone to ulcer. Don't take over the counter pain pills if you are on a prescribed pain killer. Check with DR.
