Hello, Sharon! How is your mom?
No, Motrin contains the active ingredient Ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and they need to be spaced about 8 hours apart, unless her doctor directs otherwise.
The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
