A member asked:
Is aspirin or ibuprofen better for fibrocystic (breast) pain? which is safer to take long-term? should i alternate usage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try and see.: Neither is intrinsically better and the side effect profile is quite close. Try each of them at recommended dosage. Assuming no contraindications you should consider about 650 mg asa 4 times per day or Motrin 600-800 mg 3 times per day. See which one works best for you.
