Can I take Motrin IB for more than the recommended 10 days if I cut down on the dosage substantially – one or two tablets every 12 to 24 hours?
I'm taking it to relieve severe lower back pain, which I've had for years.
These are excellent for easing muscle spasm, pain and discomfort and when taken in the correct dosage are safe.
There should therefore be no problem in taking them as you plan to, provided that you take them with food and that you do not suffer from stomachulcers – the main side effect with them is acid indigestion and very occasionally stomach ulcers in susceptible individuals which is why they are recommended with food.
Avoid using aspirin at the same time and report any stomach problems to your GP.
