Ibuprofen 600mg

[Rien1988]

My friend gave me ibuprofen 600mg there from his doctor I've got a swollen eye so they should bring the swelling down, should I just take one at a time or 2 since there 600mg and the ones from shops are only 200mg?

[portbhoy]

One at a time but I doubt it will take the swelling down, be better with a bag of peas ;D

Have a read..............

What are anti-inflammatory painkillers?
Anti-inflammatory painkillers are sometimes called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or just 'anti-inflammatories'. There are over 20 types. They include: aceclofenac, acemetacin, aspirin (see also below), celecoxib, dexibuprofen, dexketoprofen, diclofenac, diflunisal, etodolac, etoricoxib, fenbrufen, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, indomethacin, lumiracoxib, ketoprofen, mefanamic acid, meloxicam, nabumetone, naproxen, piroxicam, sulindac, tenoxicam, and tiaprofenic acid. Each of these also come as different brand names.
Anti-inflammatories are used to ease pain in various conditions including: arthritis (various types), muscle and ligament pains (strains and sprains), period pain, pains after operations, headaches, migraines, and some other types of pain. You need a prescription to get anti-inflammatories, apart from ibuprofen and aspirin which you can also buy from pharmacies.
Ibuprofen and aspirin are also used to bring down a high temperature. Low dose aspirin is also used to help prevent blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke. (See separate leaflet called 'Aspirin to Prevent Blood Clots'.)
How do anti-inflammatory painkillers work?
They work mainly by reducing the amount of prostaglandins that are made. Prostaglandins are chemicals that are released by cells at sites of injury. Prostaglandins are involved in causing inflammation and swelling. They also sensitise nerve endings which can cause pain. Anti-inflammatories stop certain enzymes (chemicals) from working that are needed to make prostaglandins. Therefore, as you make less prostaglandins, you have less inflammation and pain.

suggestion.
Instead of taking drugs not prescribed for you would it not be better in the future to just duck. .

As far as I know Ibuthingy can only be bought at a Chemist shop after you have under gone a thorough inquisition type cross examining questioning under a bright light to make sure you are not addicted to or already have taken aspirin in case an over amount of it might cause organ failure.
