The message <4.2.2.20000609203823.00a32d80@12*.0.0.1> from Scott Hunsucker <swhac@pc*.gu*.ne*> contains these words: Out of interest do you stick to the accepted norm of 2400mg/24hrs or do you increase this - if not what do you do if you have reached the maximum on a long exploratory dive. In the UK there is a sustained release ibuprofen in 800mg(Brufen retard) designed for 2 tabs o.d.( at the same time), maybe that's not available, but would it make more sense to use that at the beginning of a 'normal' dive, rather than a shorter acting lower dose - just easier in the long run. Why the preference for ibuprofen over others in the same group? or is it just that it's available without prescription? > Ibuprofen is also known as Motrin, Advil, etc. It is used for pain relief > in 200mg tablets and prescribed in 800/1200mg strength.

Aspirin is also used for its anticoagulant effect. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
