In plain English it's the same thing, ibuprofen is the medicine in Motrin. It's the medication used or things like arthritis because it helps not only to relieve pain but also inflammation that lead to stiffness and swelling in the joints. It is one of the medications called NSAID's Medications used instead of things like steroids because they have less side affects. If you really want to know more ask your doctor He/she will be able to explain in detail how this medication works in your body and what other medications you should be careful of using together with these to prevent interactions between the two.

Motrin is a brand name for iboprofen. Buy the generic house brand. It's cheaper and works just as well.
