Ibuprofen is used to treat headaches.
And why do we get headaches?
There are two main reasons why people get headaches, and doctors therefore classify headaches into two broad categories: primary and secondary.
Primary headaches are not associated with any underlying medical condition. Migraines, tension, cluster.
Secondary headaches are associated with medical conditions like infections, fever, head injury, hypoglycemia, tumors, dental conditions or increased pressure in the skull and/or sinuses (sinus headaches).
Most headache pain can be treated with over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin) and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. As mentioned above, migraines have been helped by drugs that block serotonin, such as sumatriptan (Imitrex) and ibuprofen.
