A member asked:

I took naproxen 550 mg for my back pain this morning around 11am and it was my last one so i took a 800 ibuprofen around 10pm is his okay?

Not a problem: These are standard, effective doses for back pain. Hopefully they are effective for you. You need only to be concerned about stomach acidity with these pills. Otherwise the schedule you mentioned is fine.
