200 mg? I know people over here that will pop a pair of 800 mg tablets.
Isn't 800mg Rx-only? If they're doing it under their doctor's supervision, then that's their business.
Or... And doctors hate this one trick...
8 200mg pills
Technically it's prescription only. In reality if you ask a random group of men there's always someone with a bottle. Around military bases it's even worse because the military just throws the 800mg pills at everything.

Honestly I think the Americans have it right, here.
You end up taking fewer painkillers of you start taking them early and get ahead of the pain. If you wait until the pain is already severe, you end up taking more.
Idk why this happens, it's info I got from a nurse, and intuitively it feels right.

Two 500mg tablets of acetaminophen please, thank you
-A Certified American
Hi. American here with atypical trigeminal neuralgia.
I don't even bother with analgesics for anything at this point. You hit 10 on the pain scale enough times and anything below 6 you mostly shrug off.
Unless I stub my toe. That shit hurts like a motherfucker.
Ibuprofen is for my migraines only. Nothing else touches those damn things.

I agree with the sentiment but are 200mg common where you live? Here in Germany I always get 400mg packs.

2 for 1
In the UK you can't even buy that many at once 😆 without a prescription at least - paracetamol and ibuprofen are usually 16 per pack and they don't let you buy more than one of each
