You stand a good chance of having some liver damage. Both of these medications are extremely hard on the liver as the body attempts to metabolize these compounds. I would definitely go to a doctor soon and tell him what happened. He will also want to know how many miligrams each pill contained. In the future, please follow the directions.

You are probably fine, but don't do it again. It is very tough on your liver to take alot of acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprophen at once. So, no, it was not a good thing at the time, but your body probably just processed it. If you have any doubts, go to the doctor and get some blood work done.

If you haven't overdosed yet, you're good.
The regular adult cannot have more than 8 pills of Tylenol int heir system at once.
Ibuprofen is stronger, so less is needed to OD.
However, over a couse of a week or so, you could take 2 pills daily and be fine.
Be careful about tolerance to the drugs - once you're in real pain, you increase the chance of overdosing.

did you take all 11tylenol at the same time? What..you cant read labels? Yes it can cause liver and kidney problems...how far into the future I dont know...you might want to call tylenol and ask them their advice...and ahem...get smart about the meds you put into your body...great heavens...

Tylenol ovedose caused liver problems though I don't think 11 will do it unless you are very small. 6 Ibuprofen is okay. don't do it again. Why did you take it?

have you seen the news alerts on tv lately about taking more of these pain medications that what the label calls for. Your asking for trouble

That was not a smart move, but you probably won't get a disease or a sickness when you get older, but don't take some many. Read the bottle. Please pray for your dear life!
