So ~64 days, then. It all makes sense now.

Ibuprofen is metabolized in the kidneys, not the liver. That’s acetaminophen.

TIL. Metabolised, or just peed out?

I believed metabolized, but I'm not super intimate with its method of absorption.

Most people won't take such large prolonged doses, but when you have a family of five, it's not hard to go through a good number of these. It's a rather safe drug with pain relieving, antiinflammatory properties and a fever reducer.

So muscle aches and headaches. It's taken when someone has the flu. It can be taken to help with even a cold to help with the inflammation in the sinuses. It's rather versatile. My back is spasming today, I've taken like 6 or 8 today.
