Autoimmune diseases usually do not usually have a simple, single cause. There are usually two major factors that are involved in causing them: genetics and environment. Genetics - Even with a genetic connection to autoimmune disease, there is no guarantee that you will develop an autoimmune disease. Something must turn on your immune system to trigger an autoimmune response. Environment - Environmental factors make up more than half the risk of developing an autoimmune disease.

Best Answer: Motrin = Brand Name. Ibuprofen = Generic Name. Exists over the counter in 100mg and 200mg. Best anti-inflammatory tablet as it gives the opportunity to be flexible in dosing. Adults (100 lbs. & over) can take a total of 800mg upto four times a day (do not exceed 3200mg in 24 hours). The only drawback is to take 800mg as a single dose you have to take 4 tablets of 200mg...the pill load gets large.
