Ibuprofen is a bloodthinner. They say you arent supposed to take it...only tylenol. Because when you are pregnant the volume of blood in your body increases by 50%. If you were to have an accident, go into preterm labor, etc...you could bleed out and hemmorage. Causing lots of problems!

Can Kidney pain be a side effect of taking Ibuprofen? I was taking ibuprofen last week consecutively for 3 days (400mg t.i.d) after laser eye surgery. A day or so after starting it I experienced mild pain/discomfort in my left flank that came in waves. When I stopped taking the ibuprofen the flank pain also stopped. The next day I took one more dose - the flank pain started again within an hour, but was gone the next day.

I think I'd heed the warning if my child has asthma, however, I've used Tylenol as my go to fever reducer with my boys. I've never been able to get my boys to take ibuprofen. I tried the oral suspension as well as the chew tabs and neither of my children would take them as they taste horrible. Oh, I tried hiding the flavor but it didn't work verses Tylenol chewables, they just chew up and swallow, no problem. When they are sick . . . which one do you think I prefer?

Thanks for answering Carolan. Actually I really hadn't thought it was a problem to take Ibuprofen in the morning and then Naproxen in the evening (which says NSAID) on the bottle (over the counter). Hmmm I 'm glad you mentioned that. I'm going to look that up but I'll stick to only one kind a day.

Tylenol is unveiling new maximum dosage instructions for paracetamol or acetaminophen in the US. The new instructions state a maximum total daily of 3,000 mg versus the old maximum of 4,000 mg. Additionally, it states to take the over the counter dosage every 6 hours instead of every 4 to 6 hours. These new instructions seem to be specific to their over the counter products not prescription medications.

My pain is not a pain for tylenol or ibuprofen. I need something stronger for this kind of pain. I need analgesic and antiflamattories.

Thanks for your answer! I am doing that while waiting for app. If I skip Ibuprofen start bleeding again. Taking Magnesium too.

I just came from my dentist and he suggested I take 3 ibuprofen 4 times a day for 3 days to see if it would calm the nerve of a tooth. If it does not, then he suggests a root canal. My main concern is I'm afraid of the stomach problems this might cause. Do I have need to worry? I also take omeprazole to calm my stomach, so am I defeating the purpose? Thank you for your time.

Hello & welcome....Ibuprofen is TOXIC to dogs....It sounds as if she is still in good shape, but needs a prescription for pain meds. from your Vet.....Your Vet will have a selection of meds to treat your girl's, what I beleive to be, Arthrititis....They work wonders.... The yellow bile is stomach acid and the Ibuprofen could possibly be damaging her stomach lining.....Usually, dogs vomit bile when they've gone too long without food.....

In patients with chronic liver disease who have pain symptoms, acetaminophen can be used safely in a dosage of no more than 2 g per day. That’s the equivalent of four extra-strength (500 milligrams) tablets per day or 6 regular strength (325 milligrams) a day.

You need to tell someone now. Is there anyone at home with you? Please get to a doctor or ER and make sure you tell them exactly what you took. There are more appropriate drugs available to help induce sleep, both over the counter and by prescription. Talk to an adult soon. Please... Post an update please.

Tylenol for sure. If you use anything ibuprofen related ASK your o.b. first and go by their orders. It can be harmful if in long term use.

I am taking fioricet for headaches and it has acetamenaphin. I have heard alot of negative things about actamenaphen. That is the only medication I am taking and I donot drink. I have been taking this medication for awhile and it seems to be the only one that has helped my headaches so far. The doctor tried me on several different meds, and this is the only one that stopped the headache before it became a migrane.

One other possibility meds given to children with ADHD can have side effects like aggression and violence, so I would speak to the doctor and ask about the meds and dosage

m in pain, taking pain meds(percocet,ibuprofen and nuerontin) could the increase be causing this, or the abscense of Valium? I'm taking my meds every 6-8 hrs and I can't sleep.

Doctors in my area prescribe 800 mg of ibuprofen unless you have had a csection and then they also prescribe percoset which I never noticed affected either of my first 2 kids but only took for a little over a week.

I also use ibuprofen. Tylenol never worked for me. Before I was cured of HCV I was told I could take up to 2000 mg of tylenol a day. I didn't take it as it did nothing for me. Once I was cured, my doctor told me I could once again take ibuprofen. I limit as much as I am able. I guess you have to weigh the risks against the benefits.

//www.relieve-migraine-headache.com/ibuprofen_dosage.html For pain they advise 200-400mg every 4-6 hours as needed. There is no evidence that a higher dosage will provide more relief. So, yes, you are overdoing it. They also advise that you should take the smallest dose that gives you relief. Taking that amount of Ibuprofen can damage your stomach and cause stomach bleeding, it can damage your liver and your kidneys. I know of people who have died from taking the prescribed dose.
