WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELAFEN (anti-inflammatory) or Motrin for pain relief?


what is the difference in results or affects between Motrin versus Relafen for back pain? Is one more effective than the other? Relafen longer acting but would Motrin or alike give faster relief for pain at times?

They are both part of the same class of drugs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory). One is longer lasting.

Some people will get relief from Motrin (Ibuprofen) and some will love Relafen. It is truly individual so try different ones (including Naproxen and others) and find out which works best for you.

Motrin works best for me but does not for my wife. Trial and error will tell you which is the best for you.
Good luck
