Designed to treat a variety of pains, ibuprofen can treat everything from everyday headaches to arthritis symptoms.

Although best known as a small tablet, ibuprofen comes in different forms, ranging from granules to liquids.

And just like any other drug, ibuprofen also comes with a list of possible side effects.

Although the NHS explains that 'common' side effects of ibuprofen occur in more than one in 100 people, it is still important to be aware of the signs.

According to Drugs.com, a "common" side effect occurs when you eat it.

The health portal explains that ibuprofen can make you feel full.

They list a "full feeling" as a sign that should be checked with your doctor "immediately."

Drugs.com explains: “Along with the necessary effects, ibuprofen can cause some unwanted effects.

Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do, they may need medical attention."

Another similar side effect that can also occur when you are taking the pain reliever is loss of appetite.

However, the health portal lists loss of appetite as a "rare" side effect.

Depending on the exact type of ibuprofen you are taking, side effects can vary.

This is why the NHS recommends always checking the patient information leaflet that came with your medicine.
