How to Properly Take Ibuprofen Dosage

How many pills does a patient need to take each time she wants the 625 mg dosage?

Given that the pills are 250 mg each.

Answer:

The patient needs to take two and a half pills each time she wants to achieve the 625 mg dosage.

When a patient needs to take a dosage of 625 mg of ibuprofen and each pill is 250 mg, they would need to take 2 pills for a total of 500 mg. To reach the additional 125 mg and achieve the full 625 mg dosage, one pill would need to be cut in half.

Therefore, the total number of pills needed per dosage of 625 mg is two and a half pills. This means the patient needs to take two and a half pills each time twice daily, totaling to 5 pills per day.
