A member asked:
I take 1200-1600 mg of ibuprofen in total(800 mg per day for 2 days)every month for my menstrual cramps. is that a safe dosage. it wont affect me negatively in the long run will it?

If I understand correctly. You are taking 800 mg per day. That is is very safe dosage. With healthy kidneys and stomach maximum does is 2400mg-3200mg per day. Those type of doses require medical prescribing. I would not recommend that high a dose unless under doctor care. You are well within a safe dose of ibuprofen.
