Ibuprofen (e.g. Advil, Nuprin, Motrin) was one of the original non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and is now available without a prescription. The recommended dose is 400 mg every eight hours, although prescription doses can be as high as 800 mg every eight hours. Check with your doctor about this medication if you are taking any blood-thinning meds.
