What Experts Say

Ibuprofen relieves pain, fever and inflammation by blocking the enzymes that produce prostaglandins, the chemicals behind pain and swelling. It is one of the most widely used pain relievers worldwide.

The 600mg strength is a higher, prescription level dose used for more significant pain and inflammation. Doctors use the lowest effective dose for the shortest suitable time, taken with or after food to protect the stomach.

Long term or high dose use can affect the stomach, kidneys and heart, so people with ulcers, kidney disease or cardiovascular conditions need medical guidance. Black stools, severe stomach pain or unusual swelling should be reported.
