A member asked:
I have arthitis in the neck, knees, and elbows. which is better advil, (ibuprofen) motrin, or alieve. what woud be the recommended dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Advil (ibuprofen) and Motrin R : The same. They r both ibuprofen. Aleve (naproxen) is Naproxen sodium. Nsaids are all about the same, but some seem to work better for one person than another. Try what u like; use the dose listed on the bottle. I see that I have GI problems, so b sure to continue on those meds. Take nsaids with food. Take care.
