Comment on Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 days agoYou’re the second person I’ve seen saying that ibuprofen is stronger than paracetamol. Where does that come from?
It is slightly stronger, but the dose is smaller. A single dose of router either is roughy the same pain reduction, and similar damage for long-term use.

Not sure. I’ve never used it but it always seems to be used as such, so I just assumed that was the case

It can be prescribed in much higher dosages, unlike paracetamol, but the regular over the counter stuff is the same.
200 ibuprofen = 250 paracetamol
Extra strength just doubles both
But prescription for ibuprofen can go up a bit from that. Never seen a higher prescription for paracetamol.
