用法筆記
In Taiwan, ibuprofen is an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine available at most pharmacies. Unlike some countries, it does not require a prescription for standard doses. Ibuprofen is usually uncountable (e.g., 'some ibuprofen'), but in informal speech people may say 'two ibuprofens' to mean two tablets.
