Ibuprofen has an antiplatelet effect, though relatively mild and somewhat short-lived compared with aspirin or prescription antiplatelet drugs. In general, ibuprofen has a vasodilation effect[2]. Ibuprofen is a 'core' medicine in the World Health Organization's Model List of Essential Medicines necessary that meet the minimum medical needs of a basic healthcare system.[3][4][5][6]

Ibuprofen was derived from propanoic acid by the research firm of Boots Group during the 1960s[7] and patented 1961. Orginal market as Brufen, ibuprofen is available under a variety of popular trademarks, including Motrin, Nurofen, Advil, Nuprin, and many others.[8] Generic formulations are available as well.
