Ibuprofen is the generic name of the pain reliever that is sold under the brand names Motrin or Advil. Any brand, including the generic store brand, will do the trick, especially if you take 400mgs, which is half prescription strength and twice the "over-the-counter" dosage. just be sure to take it every 4-6 hours around the clock to keep the pain under control...if you have much pain at all.

It's Advil, and it won't take away any pain. A pierced ear only stings for a minute, you have nothing to worry about.

How old are you? Consult your mom...

that is brand name advil rite aid or any grovery store

It won't hurt terribly, and ibuprofen is just another name from Advil, etc. (It's not aspirin) and taking a couple before your piercing couldn't hurt - it is a pain reliever and will help make the pain duller. Basically, the pain will be over pretty quickly...just make sure you grab some hydrogen peroxide to keep the piercing area clean, as to not get an infection (which really would hurt!)

Ibuprofen is Advil (NOT Tylenol, as another person said. Tylenol is Aceteminophen). It will help with the pain, but it will still be painful. How painful it will be depends on what type of piercing it is and where.

You can buy it at any store that carries medications. It is an antiinflammatory. (advil is 1 such med) If you have any trouble finding it ask for help from the pharmacist.

Ibuprofen is NOT Tylenol. It's Motrin. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, which in layman's terms means it will decrease swelling (Therefore helping decrease pain) without the use of steroids. It will take care of some of the swelling, but there will still be some soreness at the site of your piercing. And yes, you can buy it over the counter. ALWAYS take Ibuprofen with food as it can cause stomach upset and ulcers if taken on an empty stomach. Happy Piercing!!

Ibuprofen is Motrin not Tylenol and it is a NSAID (non-steroidal anti inflamatory drug) It is good for inflammation ,muscle pain and fever. You can get it anywhere, it usually comes in 200mg tablets. Motrin is the brand name most pharmacies have their own version which is just as good.

Ibuprofen is a common analgesic, and is available under various brand names at most pharmacies and groceries. Read the labels.

Ibuprofen is a pain reliever that has about the same strength as aspirin. It is sold under the popular brand name Advil.
Luckily for you an industrial piercing goes through the cartilage of the ear and therefore isn't terribly painful because Advil wouldn't be strong enough to stop the pain of let's say a tongue piercing.

It is the generic name for Motrin.
Available at any drug store or WalMart
