Yes, ibuprofen 800 mg is a prescription dose. The maximum OTC dose is 400 mg. Thus, it is not the drug that's is limited but rather the dose. This is because @ higher doses, a person taking this med is more likely to develop serious consequences such as gastritis & upper GI Bleed due to thinning of the protective layer in the stomach. Congestive Heart Failure, uncontrolled hypertension & heart attacks (MI), - all occur as a result of increased sodium retention. Other complications of high dose NSAIDS (non-steroidal antiinflamitories) include increased risk of bleeding, particularly in those who are on oral steroids or blood thinners such as aspirin or coumadin because they all slow down the clotting time of the blood. This bleeding can occur on the skin in the form of bruises, while brushing you teeth, or as blood in the stool- either bright or dark. Anyone w/ rectal bleeding should schedule an appointment w/ their medical provider. Rectal bleeding can be a sign of cancer or simply a hemmorrhoid- better to get it checked out.

It can be given as a prescription. In higher doses it does require a doctors prescription. You can buy it over the counter, not usually over 1000mg though.
In the US, ibuprofen in 200mg pills is available over the counter, while higher doses are available by prescription only.
