Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen overdose limit

ibuprofen

Avatar n tn You should be just fine unless you have an allergy to ibuprofen. Prescription Motrin is 800mg of Ibuprofen so that is the equivalent of four of the 200mg Ibuprofen. If you don't break out in a rash or have breathing difficulties after taking one or two Ibuprofen, please don't lose sleep over taking a third. As I said, as long as you can take Ibuprofen in the first place without having a problem, three won't bother you.
Avatar m tn According to research institutes, Ibuprofen overdose damages your internal organs like liver. While in some cases it has been reported that it has result in a permanent liver damage, in other cases where the victim was taking the dose for a long and continued period it has resulted in organ failure one by one.

1305767 tn?1361192676 Is it safe to take ibuprofen in the same day as Meloxicam? I take 15 mg of the Meloxicam in the morning for pain but need additional pain relief later in the day and I know that both drugs are NSAID so I don't want to accidentally overdose.
Avatar n tn I overdosed two days ago on ibuprofen and still feel off. Should I seek treatment? Would it still help? Would I be a suicide risk?
Avatar f tn I over dosed on 300 200 mg Ibuprofen and was taken to the ER last week where i was given charcoal. Ever since i came back home my body has been acting funny and i am having extreme pain (it feels like my right kidney but it seems a little low to be my kidney) and i was wondering if there could have been some internal damage that would not have shown up right after the overdose but a little bit after? Should I be concerned or is this just my body trying to fix it's self?
Avatar f tn Nobody knows. I had an ibuprofen overdose, but it was over a long period of time, and it affected my intestines, mostly my colon, causing colitis. I had frank blood suddenly one day, without any stool at all, and the abdomonal pain was horrible. I had a colonostopy, and was on medication for 2 months to try to heal my colon, it affected 3 ft, and it was almost gangrene. By the time I went to the emergency room, I hadn't eaten in 2 days, and yet the stupid, and I mean STUPID emergency Dr.
Avatar n tn Acetaminophen is metabolized by the liver. Doses of acetaminophen greater than the recommended doses are toxic to the liver and may result in severe liver damage. In other words, perhaps the 'hollow headedness' is due to liver reaction from large dose of acetaminophen. Best wishes!

5204799 tn?1365456784 Hi Paige Since you have been abusing these meds you have quite a high tolerance so I doubt you will overdose but.......You are taking right at the limit of acetaminophen per day and almost double the limit on the days that you take 20 pills. Long story short,you are damaging your liver and are definitely putting your health at risk. This forum is a great place to come for help,tips and support if you are ready to quit.I hope that you are. I hope this answers your question.
Avatar m tn This past 2 weeks I was ill with the h1n1 virus. During the 2 weeks, I consumed over 50 200mg pills of ibuprofen. I have had blood work done twice (5 days ago and 2 days ago). Both resulted in increased liver enzymes. I haven't had any ibuprofen in 4 days. Is it possible that my liver enzyme increase is a result of the "overdose" with the ibuprofen. My doctor has scheduled another blood work screening in two weeks. Will my liver enzymes decrease in this amount of time?
Avatar m tn His doctor was horrified yesterday (day after shot) and had him take Benadryl, Ibuprofen and apply lots of ice. Today he received an IV antiobiotic and will get more tomorrow and find out what it is. The say he may have cellulitis. We both believe that his reaction is due to getting a 2nd dose so soon after the first and we hope that he does not have any lasting issues such as an impaired elbow joint, from this.
729288 tn?1251254433 I take my shots on tuesdays so its almost time for another one. Ive been eating ibuprofen and it doesnt bring it down to much. I feel horrible I look white as a ghost. My back hurts, tummy, hips, thighs and head. Im going to call doc first thing in the morning but wanted to know if anyone had suggestions to bring down my fever.
Avatar n tn Though there is no arbitrary limit, this would be an overdose and is better avoided. If the symptoms do not seem to improve with regular dosages, it is advised to see a primary care physician or a gastroenterologist. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
Avatar f tn The Advil had 200 mg of ibuprofen. Later on I got cramps so at around four I took two midol extra strength. Each pill had 500 mg of acetominophen. Then I began getting a massive headache so at 6:45 I took one Tylenol extra strength tablet which also had 500 mg of acetominophen. Now I am worried because I took a little bit too much acetominophen And didn't wait long enough. Also I don't know if the combination of the 200 mg of ibuprofen and the beer could be bad as well?
Avatar m tn Hello, You need immediate hospital admission. Ibuprofen overdose has effected the GI system causing recurrent vomitings and caused renal ( kidney) impairment thus causing no urination. You need immediate medical intervention urgently. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn Cymbalta (60 MG), Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (5-500 MG), Ibuprofen (800 MG), Mobic (15 MG), Oxycodone-Acetaminophen (5-500 MG), Plaquenil (200 MG), Xanax (0.5 MG).
Avatar n tn Well, an overdose of ibuprofen is usually marked by drowsiness, stomache pains, and trouble breathing. I have never heard of hallucination being a side effect. That being said, when giving our little one's any medication including over the counter, it is extremely important to stick strictly to dosing instructions. I know the bottle I buy of infant tylenol or ibuprofen show recommended doses based on age and weight and of course frequency. Do not ever give more then she should get.
Avatar m tn Hi last monday I had a toothache and took quite a few painkillers (ibuprofen mainly) and ever since I have been pooping blood, and last night I had what seemed to be a panic attack (unable to speak, rapid heartbeat, struggling to breathe) and now this afternoon my right eye bag has swollen and hurts every time I blink or close my eyes. Could all these thing be linked or are they separate matters? And should I consult medical advice or see if it all calms down?
Avatar f tn So my cravings have been pickles, black olives ,and green beans. Is there a certain amount that I should limit myself to any of these? When I eat them I eat the entire can, I just can't stop lol. Its not an every day thing but is excessive when I have them.
Avatar m tn Last night I had about 7 shots of Vodka.. I am an extremely heavy drinker- 23 and I weigh 123 lb. Well I also took Tylenol PM on top of that when I went to bed. I don't remember how many I took. It could be between 8-20 pills. I'd guess somewhere in the middle. I didn't do it on purpose. I was just drunk and forgot I had already taken some. I woke up in the middle of the night retching and vomiting for 3 hours+.
Avatar m tn I've used cocaine occasionally (parties, long road trips, etc) but I've never indulged in so much I was afraid for my health. I've never wanted to push myself to the limit (NOT that I intend to) or even had enough to do so. I've heard people casually talk about going "snowblind" or staying awake for days and days on end. When a person has a deadly cocaine overdose - what happens to them? What happens to the brain, heart, speech, lungs, muscles, etc?
Avatar f tn I accidentally took 1400mg ibuprofen within the span of 16 hours, I thought it was 100mg tablets but it was 200mg tablets. I'm 24 years old and I weigh 140lb. Will I be okay? Or is it too much and I should get checked out?
Avatar f tn Nurofen contains ibuprofen, and the 'plus' is codeine. Codeine is converted to morphine in the liver (to varying degrees in different cultural populations), so from a practical standpoint there is no difference between an addiction to nurophen vs any other opiate, such as oxycodone or heroin.
Avatar f tn What is the probability of developing cirrhosis from Acetaminophen overdose. I had MRI/CT scans just over a year ago and only showed fatty liver so I was ok then. Since then have had many Occasions where I took a “‘toxic” amount of it from Tylenol and pain killers not knowing the max limit. Now, worried I have cirrhosis. My GI said not to worry because I would have had complete liver failure if it was a problem and I’m fine. But researching... I do see it can happen...
