Ibuprofen – why is it recommended to take 2 x tablets every 4 hours but not allowed 1 x tablet every 2 hours. Surely it would make the pain relief longer lasting?

What the other comment said, but a bit of clarification.
When you take pills, the pills are made mostly of filler ingredients. These are made so that the active ingredients will slowly dissolve into your system, as opposed to getting the full benefit from one or both immediately. Thus, only 50% for 4 hours as opposed to 100% for 2 hours.
