If you took 2 extra strength Advil and are still having a lot of pain you need to see your doctor and getting a stronger narcotic type pain med prescribed to you like vicodin or Tylenol with codeine. What kind of pain are you having and how long has it been going on?

There is no real "effect" of extra strength Advil.....except possibly the caffeine. Check the label for dosage and when you are advised to take more and that would be the time frame. It could be slightly more or less depending on your weight and height.

You should probably at least wait a minimum of 6-10 hours for the medicine to completely wear off, but to make sure, read the directions on the box. It will sometimes tell you.

It actually depends on your body. I won't bore you with details of the P450 enzyme or the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2 pathways. ;-) But the recommended times are actually for the test subjects, average healthy men. So the rest of us are just guessing.
Drink plenty of water, but slowly. This will help flush the pharms out of your system and will probably help you feel better anyway -- a lot of pain is actually related to dehydration.

I think after 4 hours you can take something, but they don't fully wear off for about 6 hours.
Feel better!

You'd be fine now. If you only took 2. If you had taken 3-4 (600-800mgs.) then I would say 6-8 hours.

It should tell you on the bottle how long.
Usually you need to wait 4 hours I think. The bottle should tell you how long to wait before you take more.

i read that taking more than the recommended dosage of aspirin including advil does not do any better so just keep that in mind.
