How is Motrin Migraine different than Motrin?

Motrin Migraine Pain contains no aspirin or caffeine, making it an attractive treatment option for migraine sufferers - many of whom combine medication with rest to alleviate the condition's debilitating effects.

What is the difference between ibuprofen and ibuprofen migraine?

Advil Migraine and plain Advil contain the same ingredient in the same amount: 200 mg of ibuprofen. But the Advil Migraine option comes in a liquid-filled capsule that helps the medication absorb into your body more quickly.

Can Motrin be used for migraines?

Which OTC drugs are commonly recommended to treat migraine headaches? NSAIDS — or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs — are the first line of treatment when it comes to migraines. These include ibuprofen, which is known by the brand names of Motrin and Advil; and naproxen, which is known as Aleve.

What is better for a headache ibuprofen or Motrin?

This is a personal preference. Some feel acetaminophen works better for them, whereas others find ibuprofen better relieves a headache. Muscle ache or pulled/strained muscle. Ibuprofen typically works better for this kind of pain relief, due to the anti-inflammatory effects.
