What ibuprofen or painkiller do people use most?

by Admin on January 21, 2010

I’m doing a science fair project and I need to know what brand of ibuprofen is used most out of this list: Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, Motrin, bayer, or generic brands. Please give me a website or source of your information.
I don’t care which works best, which is most recommended, I just want to know which one is the most popular of the brands I listed.

You need to be more specific. Most of this type of data is gathered based on the type of pain experienced and usually the drugs are compared to others within their class. For example I believe that Aleve (naproxen sodium) is considered the number one brand of OTC pain reliever in its class of NSAIDs for arthritis pain. However if you look at the overall most recommended brand of pain reliever then it is going to be Tylenol just because the active drug compound in Tylenol is one that presents the least risks (when taken as directed) and presents the least likelihood of interacting with other OTC and Rx medications.
