Ibuprofin: how long does it take to relieve pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ibuprfen timing : It can start working within 30 to 45 minutes. Under-dosing can be one reason it may not work which is the reason it comes in 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg formulations. Depending on cause, Ibuprofen may not be right medicine. Also, prolonged intake can lead to serious adverse effects.
