A member asked:
If i take 4 advil every 8 hrs will i receive the same benefits as one 800mg tablet of ibuprofen or does it lose potency being in multiple tablets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be the same: Four of the 200mg tablets will have the same effect as one of the 800mg tablets. A patient should not notice any difference between taking 4 small tablets or one big tablet.
