Ibuprofin?

I read/heard somewhere that the dosage on it, since it's non prescription, is less than what used to be prescribed and you can safely take more. It says on the bottle - take maxium 6 200 mg in 24 hours. Do you know what the amount is? It was the only thing that helped my hypothyroid headache (which comes and goes, hopefully once I'm on the synthroid I can get rid of it for a while.)

I believe you can take up to 2400 a day (because the largest pills are 800 and you can take three of them). Make sure to take with food or milk because they will chew through your stomach otherwise. Also if you take them for too long and then stop you can get a rebound headache.

In addition, prolonged use can cause permanent damage to the liver and kidneys. Definitely something to watch out for.
