    Taking 800mg is a prescription strength that may be very hard on your Kidneys. Although I take 4 any time I need it, I always drink lots of water. The bottle has to give you over the counter directions for legal reasons. If you have a 800mg prescription than taking 4 200mg would be the same. Be careful though, it's not recommended.

    uh....3 times 200 equals 600, so YES.

    Yes, but don't take that much too often...it may cause gastric bleeding.
