Is it possible that an ibuprofen-prescription may be more effective if bought at Walgreens rather than from a small pharmacy that's family owned?

It is possible, if they have been manufactured by different companies, since the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 does allow them to differ from the name brand, in the amount of the active ingredient by as much as plus. or minus 20%.

What are the markings on the tablet in question?

If you can post back with this information, I am happy to research more information for you.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Ibuprofen as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding.
