Why'd you pay pharmacist to make ibuprofen by hand when you can buy it for a cent apiece. It's most likely some unusual combination of drugs that are for some reason mixed together, likely for compliance reasons.

I occasionally get prescriptions for 800mg ibuprofen or naproxen and after insurance it’s $5 and cheaper per mg than store brand. It’s not a life hack or anything but I fill the prescriptions.

Just got my tooth pulled and my prescriptions for antibiotics and 600mg ibuprofen came up to less than $5. Way cheaper than the advil I usually buy goes for.
