What is the difference between over-the-counter ibuprofen and prescribed NSAIDs?
NSAIDs have similar anti-inflammatory properties and are used to treat a similar range of conditions but there are differences between them, most importantly in their risks of adverse effects.

In general, NSAIDs that are available only on prescription are used in the long-term treatment of chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and they are associated with a higher risk of adverse effects. Ibuprofen has been available in the UK for 40 years. It is associated with the lowest risk of adverse gastrointestinal effects of any NSAID; the maximum dose when it is used as a prescribed medicine is 2,400 mg/day.

Ibuprofen has been available over-the-counter (OTC) since 1983. As an OTC medicine it is not used in the same way as prescription-only NSAIDs: the maximum dose is lower (1200 mg/day) and it is used only for short-term treatment (usually taken to mean no longer than 7 days). As a result, its side effect profile is very different from that associated with prescription-only NSAIDs used for long-term treatment.
