    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.
