I've had the same bottle for a couple years now, but my understanding is it's reasonably safe. I've never personally known someone who's succumbed to ibuprofen addiction lol

They're not addictive, but it can be kind of hard on your liver if you're taking a lot, and I think NSAIDs can cause stomach ulcers (again, if you're taking a lot).

I get headaches almost daily so I try to be careful, but I still take pain killers because they kill pain.

here in sweden at least the packages just say to not take more than 3 pills per day and to seek help if you want to take them for more than a week straight.

Yeah, I can definitely understand if it's a daily thing. It would suck to get headaches everyday.

I had a knee injury a little while back and was in really bad pain and I was prescribed something that was basically a very strong ibuprofen, and it was great but after a while my gut felt so bad, fortunately the two weeks or so was really all I needed.
