Looks like it might be closer to .3, if studies like this are representative: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3522030 (note the difference between log dose and serum level)<br /><br />Not sure where Bob is getting his statistic, probably another source neither of us are aware of.

He explains it well. However it also appears to me that he is stretching reality (to put it mildly) to make his point: 0.14 correlation between taking Ibuprofen and painrelief....Common sense tells you that this is probably not true. If you need evidence see e.g. "Treating Acute Pain" (BMJ 1997;314:1531–5)stating that 70% of patients given Ibuprofen get pain relief (20% of this is assumed to be due to placebo effect).
