Tablets all vary. They are generally made up of a small amount of an active ingredient which is 'carried' in a larger amount of a harmless substance. The value of Mg printed on a packet is the quantity of the active ingredient in any one tablet - the tablet will weigh more than the value of the active ingredient. Depending on the medicine in question, the number of Mg in a tablet will vary - some brands come on different strengths - I take a 150mg and a 75mg dose of a particular medicine. It depends on the drug. 200mg does not represent the weight of the tablets, it reflects the concentration of the drug in the tablets. If you read the label on the bottle, it should tell you how many mg of the drug there are per tablet and you can figure from there how to reach a 200mg dose.

How many ibuprofen can you have for severe back pain?

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.
