Ibuprofen for Mild to moderate pain
Adult dosing has a median of 400 mg across 65 published protocols, with the middle half between 400 and 600.
1,335 rows are under review across the census and excluded from every number on this page. How that works.
Adultmg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | 400 | 400 | 600 | 800 |
Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a drug five times still gets one vote.
