Common use of ibuprofen by soldiers

Try naproxen!! So much better than the old motrin. I used to make fun of my NCOs for taking Motrin all of the time but now that I am at 15 years it is easier to see why they did it. Helps with the aches and pains.

This is so true! For whatever reason I go to sick all, I always leave with 800mg Motrin.

I have often made fun of the Medical Corp in the Army about this... "You have a sucking Chest wound, Take these 800 mg Ibuprofine, Return to duty." It seems as for the last 20 years it is the "miricle" drug of choice for Military Docs to perscribe. I have heard that taking too much Ibuprofine is bad for your liver. My father is a perfect subject in this.
