Ibuprofen: Pharmacology, Therapeutics and Side Effects

From the reviews:“This book is intended for a broad readership -- anyone interested in the properties, actions, and uses of ibuprofen. This book serves this aim very well … . The book is of great value for anyone who wants to understand the historical development and clinical utility of a very popular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) … . This is an outstanding historical and factual account of ibuprofen, one of the most widely used analgesic/antipyretic/anti-inflammatory drugs today.” (Thomas L.
