Probably not. Although Motrin like products are pain killers, It is not meant for the type of discomfort of a stomach bug.

Motrin, a brand name for Ibuprofen, is called an NSAID. Ibuprofen as well as other NSAIDS such as aspirin and naproxen can have stomach related side effects that including upset stomachs and ulcers. When used for stomach problems, it can make things worse.

How much Aspirin in Ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen (Naproxen) does not contain aspirin. Both these medications are in a class called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory medicines or NSAIDS. The reason they are not added together is that they both thin the blood and to much blood thinning can cause hemoglobin to be unable to transport oxygen to vital organs.

Why do they put a coating on Advil?

The Advil coating is NOT enteric coated. Enteric coating is used on certain medications, most notably NSAIDS (naproxen, acetylsalicylic acid/aspirin) so the release of the contents does not occur until it has reached your small intestine and thus reduces the stomach pains associated with NSAIDS.

The Advil coating makes them easier to swallow and taste better, but it is not a formal enteric coating. If it was, trust in the fact marketing would highlight this and claim Advil has an advantage over other ibuprofen based products.

Dentist tell you to take ibuprofen naproxen together for a short duration it is supposed to give the same effect of Vicodin without the narcotic effect How can you say no when Doctors say yes?

Ibuprofen and Naproxen are the same thing, both an hormonal, anti inflammatory and are the same active drug but in a slightly different form Naproxen being moderately stronger. Vicodin has AP in it generally in the 320-750 range which is very similar to the active In Naproxen, but it has Hydrocodon which is the narcotic, which is an opiate and a strong one at that, this giving the "narcotic Affect". You will not have similar affects taking The two together any where near Vicodin, and i would be very careful with taking them together low dosages 500 Naproxen and 400-600 Ibuprofen is the max and defiantly not good for your stomach make sure you take food to reduce damage.
