Ibuprofen is a medication in the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class that is used for treating pain, fever, and inflammation.

This includes painful menstrual periods, migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis.

It may also be used to close a patent ductus arteriosus in a premature baby.

It can be used by mouth or intravenously.

It typically begins working within an hour.

An analgesic drug, also called simply an analgesic, pain reliever, or painkiller, is any member of the group of drugs used to achieve relief from pain (that is, analgesia or pain management).

Analgesics are conceptually distinct from anesthetics, which temporarily reduce, and in some instances eliminate, sensation, although analgesia and anesthesia are neurophysiologically overlapping and thus various drugs have both analgesic and anesthetic effects.

Skeletal muscles (commonly referred to as muscles) are organs of the vertebrate muscular system that are mostly attached by tendons to bones of the skeleton.

The muscle cells of skeletal muscles are much longer than in the other types of muscle tissue, and are often known as muscle fibers.

The muscle tissue of a skeletal muscle is striated – having a striped appearance due to the arrangement of the sarcomeres.

Fasting is the willful refrainment from eating and sometimes drinking (see Water fasting and Juice fasting).

From a purely physiological context, "fasting" may refer to the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight (see "Breakfast"), or to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of a meal.

Several metabolic adjustments occur during fasting.

Some diagnostic tests are used to determine a fasting state.

For example, a person is assumed to be fasting once 8–12 hours have elapsed since the last meal.

Metabolic changes in the fasting state begin after absorption of a meal (typically 3–5 hours after eating).
