A member asked:

Can i take ibuprofen 600mg for back pain ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: This is the prescribed dose when a prescription level is needed. If you do not have a personal intolerance to this at low levels you can use this at this level. I would not do so for more than 3 days on a every 8 hr basis without checking with your doctor.
