No. This was purchased because someone thought it was a “great deal”. They will use about a quarter of the bottle before it expires and then just throw the rest out.
Not everyone is a lonely neck beard. Some folks live with families, and some of those family members might just have to take a daily pill or two daily.
If someone is having to take an Ibuprofen a day, for long enough to make a 1000 pill a worthwhile purchase, they really should be seeing a doctor to actually treat the underlying cause, because you really shouldn’t be constantly taking it long term.
Doc said I can either pay the copay on 800mg generic Ibuprofen and wait in line at the pharmacy or eat 4 of these. Daily ibuprofen won’t give me a habit and my pain isn’t so bad that I would even want opioid medication.
I was told by a doctor that Ibuprofen daily at 800mg for more than a week or two can cause stomach ulcers that can be extremely dangerous to your health. Someone close to me took this amount for over a month and had extreme ulcers in her stomach because her idiotic doctor told her to.
Also, there was a recent study that came out that mentioned taking ibuprofen daily can worsen the pain you’re trying to treat.
Ibuprofen can cause issues with stomach lining and ulcers, long term usage is usually with drugs like Duexis which adds famotidine (Pepcid AC). Its claimed to be different but I would imagine taking four of these and ~ 2-3 regular strength (10mg) famotidine pills would work roughly similar(26mg in Duexis).
Brother, here you can’t even buy a card with more than 20 tablets or a box with more than 60 (3 cards of 20), and they’ve always worked fine for my family of 5. Should I also mention that my mother suffers of chronic back pain? As usual, 'murican culture is a culture of unnecessary excess.

It’s way cheaper to buy the 200mg in bulk.

This is plan B for when the doctor(s) inevitably think you are a liar just looking for pain pills.
You’re assuming they have healthcare and can afford to see a doctor.
Are you suggesting that anyone who doesn’t use up all of their over the counter medications before they expire is a “lonely neckbeard”?
That seems like a harsh judgement
No. Just those that only can consider quantities for a single person and bitches mouths off about it online. Those are the neckbeards.
Some of us may have beards on our necks, but I suspect you may have a neckbeard around your heart

Got em

Well, and I guess some people run a hospital on their backyard. I did hear backyards on the US are large.
Everyone I know who buys these will definitely use them before they expire. Most common reasons seem to be back pain and headaches.
Feel bad for the sucker who sees this and only buys one.

They won’t be thrown out, who are you kidding?
