I would also say eye-byoo-pro-fen.
My mum, who has worked as a nurse for over twenty years calls it "broofen". I'm not sure why ...

Thank you - I had no idea that was the case. I just checked - my mum didn't even know why she called it that !
i always say i-bru-pro-fin :/
I used to call it Ih-Bih-Pro-Fen but nobody knew what I was talking about, so I learned to call it Eye-Bee-Pro-Fen.
My way is much cooler though
