While it is true that 800 mg is the dose a prescription furnishes the dose in the over the counter stuff is 200 mg. If you have any liver issues take the 200 mg. When I was an ironworker I used to have to eat those damn things like popcorn to enable me to work with back injuries. Over the years it effected my liver adversely. Too much of a good thing. + 1 on the ice. Great therapy for joint or muscle pain.
