Ibuprofen in the treatment of postoperative pain
The site and type of operation and the age of the patient help determine the intensity of postoperative pain and the level of medication necessary for relief. Controlled clinical trials have shown that ibuprofen (Motrin) is an effective and safe analgesic for patients with mild to moderate postoperative pain. In a study of 120 patients with postoperative orthopedic pain, ibuprofen was more effective than acetaminophen-codeine and had a longer duration of action.
