A member asked:

If i am allergic to motrin does that mean i am also allergic to other nsaids and ibuprofen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: motrin IS ibuprofen. and motrin is one of the nsaids would need to know exact symptoms and other clinical signs displayed after taking motrin to accurately assess an allergy
