If they are 200mg tablets you can take four, ONCE. Do not do it again, more than that is toxic. If your pain is that severe I suggest seeing a doctor for something stronger.
You can actually take as much as six, 200mg. tablets in any 24 hour period, but don't take for more than 10 days straight...you should really try to see a doctor, however, because kidney problems can often disguise themselves as Back pain.

How do you get Motrin to work?
You take 400 to 600 mg every 8 hours.Motrin (ibuprofen) is good for mild to moderate pain - it's not going to work as well for something severe like a broken bone or other severe injury. If 600mg of ibuprofen isn't working for your pain, it's time to see a doctor and get some prescription strength pain reliever.

Endone (Oxycodone) is in a group of drugs called narcotic pain relievers. Ibuprofen/Voltaren are in a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ibuprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. The combination of ibuprofen and oxycodone is used short-term to relieve moderate to severe pain.
Is Ibuprofen a good medicine for hemorrhoids?
Speaking only from personal experience, ibuprofen is not good for treating hemorrhoids. I rarely suffered from any hemorrhoid discomfort before using ibuprofen. Having taking only one dose of ibuprofen daily for a short time for back pain, the ibuprofen actually seemed to cause hemorrhoids! After stopping the ibuprofen, the hemorrhoids went away. Thinking this to be coincidental, I tried the ibuprofen again as it works well for my back pain. But the hemorrhoids returned. So, at least for me, ibuprofen is not helpful for hemorrhoids.
