A member asked:
Will 400mg ibuprofen provide anti inflammatory effect straight away or more doses needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It works at this : dose, always follow package/prescription instructions, as well. It may take a few days to get the full effect. If it is not effective, you may need to see your doctor, for an exam and better treatment, if needed.
