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.
A: Advil (ibuprofen) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Advil can be used for pain and inflammation. Motrin (ibuprofen) is the same medication as Advil; they are both ibuprofen. They are just made by different companies.
I also have had problems with my stomach and am on medication for that. I no longer take Motrin. The Dr has me on Vioxx and its great for my shoulder but my stomach suffers from it. I only take it when I have too. Does anyone in this group know which of the anti inflamatory medications is the easist on the stomach.
