Can i take 2 ibuprofen tablets, usp 800mgs in a four hour time if pain is suver?

Be careful: Yes you can , but you can reduce the risk of abdominal pain or irritation with taking them with food. Try not to take more than 800mg every 8 hrs at the most. Also consider tylenol (acetaminophen) instead based on the type of pain you are having.
