Can you overdose on Advil Liquid Gels?

Question

I take three to four... is that bad for me?

Answer 1

Not 3-4

All drugs are bad for you whether you get them over the counter or from a doctor. They are sometimes necessary but ALL have side effects.


Drugs are for sick people

Answer 2

A prescription dose would be 3 or 4 taken 4 times a day. Have a little bit of food in your stomach if you are going to take ibuprofen more than once or twice. You want to stay under 3200 mg per day and you want to only do that for 5 to 7 days at a clip. Of course, if you need this much, you ought to be under a doctor's care for whatever your problem is. If you exceed this dose, you may begin to experience stomach problems, kidney or liver problems (sometimes irreversible) and bleeding problems. Read the label and really pay attention to the side effects and adverse reactions and assume that they are going to be much more likely and potentially more severe if you use the full prescription dose rather than sticking to 2 gel caps 4 times per day.

Now to answer what is probably your REAL question... If you take 3 to 4 Advil Liquid Gels once a week or so (assuming no underlying medical conditions or interactions with other medications), you are not likely to have any problems. 400 mg just doesn't cut it for some people and 600 or 800 does.

Answer 3

Yes you can overdose on Advil (IBUPROFEN) but it sounds like you are taking it with in normal limits. It can cause problems long term with liver and kidneys, the benefits out weigh the risks as far as I am concerned, especially when I am pulling the hatchet out of my splitting head when it hurts!

Answer 4

You can overdose on anything!

Answer 5

You can over dose on any drug..
