How are 800mg ibuprofen tablets different than taking 4 200mg ibuprofen tablets? this is for arthritis treatment.

1 vs 4 pills: no difference, but at your age I would be very concerned about such a high dose doe to potential kidney damage and other problems like ulcers in your stomach and bowel with bleeding and perforations. Please talk to your doctor about alternative medicine with less potential risks
