| Brufen is one of the brand names for Ibuprofen and I think a few people take this. It is an anti-inflammatory drug which is used for all kinds of pain relief and fevers. It is an NSAID which is a non narcotic pain reliever.Yes I have found it to be of some help to me as it has helped with the pain in my joints and also when I have had headaches caused by inflammation in my neck. - Wendy, Wellington, New Zealand | |
