In addition to being a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen has been approved for use in the United States by several other agencies in Canada, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand.
Ibuprofen is a member of the ibuprofen group, and is a derivative of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
