What is the correct dose of Ibuprofen during Aura phase?

Ibuprofen at doses ranging from 400 to 1200 mg helps me a lot if I take it in my Aura phase. However, I am not sure if, between different doses, there is a significant difference. For instance, if I take 400 mg I think that I have the same effect than if I have 800 mg.

I find the same ... 400 mgs usually does the trick if taken early enough although I have tried up to 1000 mgs ...

Hey there. ibuprofen can be used 2 x 200 standard 200 mg four times a day the stronger ones should only be taken on medical advice. and no more than 8 of either strength in 24 hours for no longer than three days as they are notorious for causing indigestion and internal bleeding if taken for to long, read the inner leaflet carefully.
