ibuprofen is one of the best way to treat Sciatica. Normally one should take (for 200mg) 2 in the morning, 2 after lunch, 1 at meal times and 1 before you go to bed. Make sure you eat before the tablets to avoid stomach upset. The reason for the above dosage is that a person tends to be vertical and be more active in during the day thus 2 tablets to help. Once at home in the evening 1 tablet should be fine with intervals of lying down on your back. Ibuprofen helps with the inflamation which is what is exacerbating the sciatica, so taking the tablets regularly dumbs down the inflamation allowing for your body to heal.

How much is to much ibuprofen.?

The most i have ever been prescribed is 2000mg tablets, i was to take only one every 6 -8 hours. There are guidelines that are on the bottle of any medication. I suggest that you look there first, and start with the recommended dosage. As with anything if you take to much of it then it may cause harm to your body. If you have reoccurring pain and you are constantly in need of ibuprofen, or the dosage isn't working then I recommend you see your doctor. actually u can also take ibuprofen 400 mg tab that is also safe to take.it is one of the safest NSAID's
