Ibuprofen is a common drug used to relieve ______.
Answer: A
Ibuprofen is used to relieve pain.
Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). By blocking the cyclo-oxygenase enzymes it reduces the production of prostaglandins, which cause pain, inflammation and fever. It is used for headache, toothache, menstrual cramps, muscle and joint pain, and to bring down fever.
It does not treat vomiting, for which antiemetics are used, or constipation, for which laxatives are used. Allergies are treated with antihistamines; NSAIDs can actually trigger allergic reactions in some people.
