For Headache "I take Motrin for my headaches, and it works within 30 minutes. I have no side effects. I have tried Aleve, Advil, Tylenol, and some prescription drugs for headaches. None have helped me like Motrin does."

For Headache "I've been suffering from headaches/migraines due to stress, menstrual cramps, and dry sinuses for 5 years now, and I have to say Motrin is very amazing with results. I would usually take 2 to 3 pills with food, and about an hour or 2, it takes the pain away. No side effects!"

For Period Pain "I had the most excruciating period pain and couldn’t even get out of bed. I tried everything, and nothing helped until my cousin gave me Motrin. With Motrin, I don’t feel any pain and don’t suffer from symptoms: nausea, depression, mood swings, and now I can function normally. I cannot believe I found something to stop the pain, I’m truly fascinated and recommend Motrin to anyone."
