Ever wondered how Ibuprofen works? Well, wonder no more. Here's the explainer with the what, how, why, side effects and history and pharmacology to boot (two advanced sections in the 2nd half). Probably the most interesting history so far!
You might also know this drug by it's trade names: Nurofen or Advil. They are part of a class of drugs called NSAIDS - that's Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. They are COX inhibitors.
It's good for headaches, fever and booboos. Analgesia and antipyretic, and also anti-swelling!
As always we go through things in simple terms and then for the hardcore enthusiasts we're into the complex stuff.
You'll discover how Ibuprofen works as a pain killer (analgesic), how it can low temperature (antipyretic), and how it can stop swelling. Plenty more in the series too.
