Ibuprofen 800mg

Ibuprofen 800mg (brand name Motrin) is a prescription-strength nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve mild to moderate pain and to reduce the pain, swelling, and stiffness of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also commonly prescribed alongside other medications — many patients ask whether they can take ibuprofen with amoxicillin or cyclobenzaprine, which a pharmacist can review with you. After a licensed provider reviews your information, your order ships from a licensed U.S. pharmacy.

What Is Ibuprofen 800mg?
Ibuprofen 800mg is the highest prescription-strength tablet of ibuprofen, an NSAID that works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Unlike lower-dose over-the-counter versions, the 800mg tablet requires a prescription and provider oversight. It is FDA-approved to relieve mild to moderate pain, the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps). Because it is often used together with antibiotics like amoxicillin or muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine, it's important to review your full medication list with your provider or pharmacist.
