A member asked:
Can i take two 800mg ibuprofen for serious back pain? one just doesn't seem to help at all.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: High doses of ibuprofen can be damaging to the kidneys and cause significant GI upset. An urgent care facility will likely be able to prescribe effective pain medication for you until you can be further evaluated for the cause of your pain. I hope you feel better soon!
