If you take I buprofen or Alleve, or any other in this class of drugs, (called NSAIDs) DO NOT take generics; take ONLY the name brands.  This goes for the prescription ones, like celebrex, only THERE IS NO NSAID any more effective than Ibuprofen; some are easier on the stomach, but i have no trouble with the gelcaps.

  This from a doctor:  GENERIC IBUPROFEN COMES FROM CHINA, INDIA, AND SOME OTHER SUCH PLACES AND IS NO GOOD.  I've not heard that is harmful, but with lead in the Chinese crap i would use caution.

  Most of you are young and healthy enough not to use it on a regular basis but if, like me, you bust your ass in the gym you probably have chickenshit little injuries that Ibuprofen helps a lot.  So if you take it or any of these drugs on a regular basis BE WARNED.
