A member asked:
How strong is 800mg ibuprofen? i was prescribed this for my wisdom teeth removal. can i just take 200mg advil instead?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dosage: 200mg ibuprofen is only 1/4 the strength the medication prescribed for you to ease your post-surgical discomfort. If you want to alter the dose, discuss this action with your Surgeon. Not knowing your case we can only give basic information, not treatment clearances. Your Surgeon knows your circumstances better than we do.
