This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You need a prescription for ibuprofen? That's way too far imo.

You need a prescription for pills of 600mg ibuprofen. 400mg is available over the counter without prescription at any pharmacy. So you could just do 1,5 pills of 400mg and not have a prescription.

Same in the USA for doses that high

I've never seen anything over 200mg

Honestly 100mg is all I see on the shelves but I haven’t looked.

I’ve been prescribed 600 and 800mg in the past.

Well ibuprofin is pretty damaging to your liver depending on conditions and many people take it without food which is much more damaging than with food.

That being said, you can call for a prescription and a 50 pack of it is like 0.50€ lol

Are you thinking of acetaminophen? Without googling, my head canon says that acetaminophen damages the liver, while ibuprofen damages the kidneys. But I could be way off.
