Question My girlfriend was in detox for 4 days getting off pain killers and soma. When she was having pain they gave her Ibuprofen Forte I am wondering what it is, how it is used, and if she could have a relapse if she is placed on it for pain now that the narcotics are out of the question. I appreciate your help.

Answer Dear Dena, Ibuprofen Forte is a non-narcotic pain killer. It is one of the first choice drugs for not very severe pain. In future also she should use it or any other non-narcotic analgesic (pain killer) for pain. There is no chance of relapse because of it.
