There's probably nothing wrong with taking 800mg of ibuprofen at least for a short period of time. Ibuprofen can have some negative effects from long-term use though.

Regarding opioid based pain-killers... for all the negative attention they get, they're also usually fine for most people - when used as directed and, again, for a short-period of time.

Not everybody who takes a few Oxycodone tablets winds up addicted and then reduced to using heroin to get their fix.
