Ibuprofen (from the earlier nomenclature iso-butyl-propanoic-phenolic acid) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) originally marketed as Nurofen and since under various trademarks, including Act-3, Advil, Brufen, Dorival, Herron Blue, Panafen, Motrin, Nuprin and Burana (Finland), Ipren or Ibumetin (Denmark and Sweden), Ibuprom (Poland), IbuHEXAL, Ibusal (Finland), Fenpaed (Ireland), Moment (Italy), Ibux (Norway), Íbúfen (Iceland), Ibalgin (Czech Republic), Bupuren (South Korea), Neofen (Croatia), Eve (Japan), Nurofen and Advil (Australia). It is used for relief of symptoms of arthritis, primary dysmenorrhoea, fever, and as an analgesic, especially where there is an inflammatory component. Ibuprofen has no antiplatelet (blood-thinning) effect.
