Ibuprofen is a prescription-only medicine in Germany. I understand that a trip
to the chemist is de rigueur for many German dancers in St Andrews, because in
Britain you can get it over the counter.

I actually got some ibuprofen pills on prescription last year for my knee
(which is better now, thank you very much, mostly through waiting and light
exercise) and they worked very well – I didn't dance while I was taking them,
though, since I didn't want to risk making the knee worse while I wasn't
feeling any pain. I still have some left in case I need them desperately.
