It's available by prescription in larger dosages here. The OTC stuff is 220mg BID, I have had RX for 500mg BID. OTC ibuprofen is similar, 200mg OTC, up to 800mg by RX.
It would be interesting to see a comparison of overdose rates in the US vs. Finland (or other countries where it is more heavily regulated). I'm sure that abuse and overdose occurs here, but it's not something that would make the news, so it's not something you hear about.
