A member asked:
Is it safe to take 2 800mg of ibuprofen for back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Above the`: recommended dosage, and could cause significant gastric irritation. Ibuprofen is not a drug where if one is good more is better, as there is a therapeutic level above which no further analgesic qualities can be found but only an increase in undesirable side effects.
