The hangover that led to the discovery of ibuprofen.

 

Read about the discovery of ibuprofen by Dr Stewart Adams, who gained a Pharmacy degree at The University of Nottingham.  His story can be seen on the BBC website.

Now 92, Dr Adams remembers the years of research, the endless testing of compounds and the many disappointments before he and his research team pinpointed ibuprofen as a drug with potential more than 50 years ago.
