Ibuprofen, which is usually purchased as an over-the-counter remedy for headaches and other body aches, has side-effects that can potentially cause serious illness or complicate a pre-existing condition. For this reason, doctors and nurses need not to dismiss or overlook the possible dangers associated with using this drug as part of a treatment plan.
