As with aspirin and acetaminophen, if you have any condition which requires you to take prescription drugs, or if you have had any problems or serious side effects from taking any non-prescription pain reliever, do not take MOTRIN IB without first discussing it with your doctor.
If you experience any symptoms which are unusual or seem unrelated to the condition for which you took ibuprofen, consult a doctor before taking any more of it.

Aspirin Sensitive Patients:
Although MOTRIN IB does not contain aspirin, it may cause a severe reaction, similar to that listed above, in people allergic to aspirin or other pain relievers/fever reducers. Any of these reactions could be serious.
Stop using this product and get emergency medical help immediately. These reactions can occur after taking a single dose or any subsequent dose in persons both with, and without, prior reaction to MOTRIN IB or other pain relievers/fever reducers.
