Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does ibuprophen have sulfa/sulfur/or sulfite impound in it? I am allergic C to ALL types of sulfur compounds. (Yes I realize it is a very exclusive club) but something written in my medical records is making me question if Motrin does have this compound in it.
Hi & Welcome. Ibuprofen does not contain sulfur in it.
I can understand your concern regarding the safety of Ibuprofen while having allergy to sulfur containing compounds.
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used for treating pain, fever, and inflammation. This includes painful menstrual periods, migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis.
It is available under a number of trade names, including Brufen, Advil and Motrin.
None of these formulations contain sulfur.
Hope these answer your queries.
A feedback is appreciated.
