GET RELIEF RESPONSIBLY®
Did you know that MOTRIN® is part of a group of pain relievers called NSAIDs (non‐steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)? Over-the-counter NSAID-containing medicines can include the following ingredients: ibuprofen (active ingredient in MOTRIN®), naproxen sodium, and aspirin.
There are more than 900 OTC (over-the-counter) and prescription medicines that contain an NSAID, including pain relievers, sleep aids and decongestants. Taking more than one medicine that contains an NSAID at a time, or taking too much of the same medicine at a time, increases your chance of stomach bleeding and ulcers.
It’s important to read and follow the entire Drug Facts label to make sure you:
- Take only the dose directed on the label and start with the smallest effective dose.
- Wait the right amount of time between doses
- Take ONLY 1 medicine with the same kind of ingredient at a time
- Don’t take more than the daily limit
Know where to find this and other important information by using this guide to labels.
