OMG no way. You can't do something like that. Its medication. You have to be careful. 800 mg of Motrin can kill you.
Better just stick with the 200 mg Ibuphrofen.
Seriously it just depends on if you want to get the relief all at once and last for a couple hours or spread out the pain relief over a longer period of time.

It is the same. But be sure you are doing this under the direction of your physician. There should be limit on the total daily amount as well as how many days duration are appropriate for your medical issue and weight.

It is as effective, but can be hard on your tummy. If you don't take them for too long you should be OK. My doctor has told me to do the same thing for pain before.

Same thing, just be sure to have something on your stomach when you take it and then you can repeat in 8 hours.

sitting up for at least 30 minutes after taking it helps reduce the stress on your stomach lining too.
