An interesting thing with ibuprofen is that at the regular dose of 400mg it inhibits pain but if you take 1600mg it doesn't inhibit much more pain than the 400mg dose, but the inflammatory effect does increase significantly. A lot of people don't know that and take too much thinking it scales linearly.
Some know that you can combine ibuprofen with paracetamol to get extra pain suppression.
And when you want to be gentle, you alternate between them.
