OTC dosage per pill is 220mg.

The Rx dosage per pill is 500mg.

Otherwise, there is no difference.

Like aspirin, you don't want to take tons of this stuff so as not to thin your blood too much, plus it can be a bitch to your innards over time if enough is taken, with liver and colon being the two top places of sadness I think. I'm not a doctor.

That said, a real doctor giving someone the business about having an Rx for it - at least without any context within which to couch it - is very, very curious behavior.

As for ibuprofen, you can theoretically take 100mg/kg and still almost certainly be fine ... I think some can get away with 400mg/kg before they reach a concerning toxicity level. I wouldn't do it too often ... well, not at all really ... besides, my experience with it is very "m'eh", but that's just me.

I believe they might have stopped selling NyQuil with both Tylenol and booze in it as those are a dangerous combo.

You are right I would have thought even the prescpain stuff was generic and less than $30.

Well yeah if your taking 2 every. 12 hours which is the low side of toxicity ~ 3200mg

12 hours is Alleve I believe. Ibuprofen can be 800 ever 6 hours or something.

Dosing is subjective really relatibe to the patients pain. As long as you stay at or below 3200 mg you're fine. So 800 x 6 hours x 4 is ok as I'd 800 x 12 hours x 2

Just talked to a kid whose mother I used to sleep with once in a while- he says no ingredient difference from OTC, 800mg per dose should be more than enough, never exceed 3200mg per day from any dose rate. (Seventh year of Pharmacy school, doing his pediatric rotation right now, graduates May 2019). YMMV

*Boom*

It ain't about picking government regulation, it's about helping out a board member.

A pharmacist would not know the secondary ingredients in a pill. They are undisclosed.

It'll be low cost generics and some older brands where the pharmacy's submitted cost ends up being less expensive than the copay.

My mom used to have to pre-medicate before CT scans and MRIs because she was mildly allergic to the contrast dye. So they'd prescribe a couple of 50 mg prednisone and 2 benadryl for her to take in advance. I swear they prescribed the two benadryl as a "don't sue us" move as opposed to just telling her to take 2 OTC benadryl instead, and they'd send an electronic script to the pharmacy so it'd already be filled before she arrived to tell them not to bother.

You can take 800 mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours for a max dose of 3200 mg a day. You always want to use the lowest effective dose you can, to get rid of the pain. Don’t take 3200 mg when 2400 mg will do. There is no difference in active ingredients. 4 200 mg and 1 800 mg all have the same active ingredients. The difference is in the binders, fillers, and inactive ingredients. The 4 200 mg pills will have more fillers, like lactose. These fillers when ingested in higher quantities can cause side effects like upset stomach. If you need to take 600-800 ibuprofen occasionally, either way is really ok. But people you need to take this type of medication on a regular basis, should get the RX strength in the proper dosage.

I was gettin ready to call your old lady a junkie until I looked it up.. It's Aleve ya cheap fuck.. I'll send ya some if you're that broke. Smh
