Taking ibuprofen 800mg every 6 hours after c-section is this okay? i'm on day 6
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That's a common dose for post partum pain relief after a cesarean section. However, That is the maximum daily limit of 3.2 g/day. If you have renal issues, or have limited pain, you can take it every 8 hours for pain control
