"I am a 65-year-old man, and I find ibuprofen has always made my memory better. I take one to four tablets of 200 mg a week. Sometimes I take an extra one for pain. It always works on any type of pain I have."

Ibuprofen "I love this product! I was in severe pain until I started taking Advil. Right away I felt the pain go away - it was like the first time I heard the Beatles. Thank you so much."

"I have used this drug for 20 years. Cannot take other NSAIDs because they cause stomach pain. But for some reason, ibuprofen I can take with no problem at all. And it works on all my joint pain."

Ibuprofen "Excellent! Works in less than 20 minutes! Doesn’t interfere with blood clotting as it doesn’t contain aspirin. Doesn’t harm one’s liver, not hepatotoxic as is acetaminophen/Tylenol."

"It does okay, just wish it was a little stronger. But for the most part, it is very helpful. Wish it could be taken more often as well. I also wish it could be taken without food and not get sick."
