A member asked:
Is there really any difference between ibuprofen 200mg, 400mg, 600mg, or 800mg, as far as pain relief?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Relief of mild to moderate pain is dose related in non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen. The higher the dose, the more effective it will be. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
