200mg is normal for ibuprofen, and prescriptions for 800mg versions are not unusual.
Meanwhile 500mg is, I believe, more than they combine with opiates and acetaminophen does lead to death via organ failure on the order of hundreds of people a year. I was curious why they weighted the acetaminophen proportionally so much higher than the ibuprofen.
