Nothing. 6 Advil is like one prescription dose. Don't make a habit of it, hell on your stomach lining, it'll cause ulcers if you do it often.

I don't know if anything will happen to you.
I will say this much. When I get pain pills from the dentist, they're 600 or 800 mg. of ibuprofen. A few weeks back I had massive muscle pain for several days. I took 3 advil and then after 5 hours took 3 more. It worked. I wasn't too worried about that dosage since doctors will prescribe you that dosage.
Keep in mind, what worked for me, may not work for you. Call a pharmacist in your area. You may feel better after talking to him or her.

On the box it only says the most you should take is 8 in 24 hours. 4-6 hours b/t each 2. If u are feeling normal then ok but if not u should immediately call ur doctor or a poison control center.

Nothing. Prescription-strength dosages can be as high as 2400 mg or more in 24 hours. Worst-case scenario, your stomach may get upset due to Advil's possible irritating effect on the stomach lining. But that can happen from even 200 mg.

you have been taking them over the course of the day, its not like you took them all at once. you will be fine...just be care full and take it easy, and make sure you drink no booze!!!! that could cause stomach ulcers and bleeding of the stomach. here is a link to help! you must read this article about advile...

Probably nothing, But I took about 20 panadol I night cause I was in pain and I started vomiting the rest of the night, so don't take that many

nothing, just don't take anymore till morning. I used to take 2 every 4 hours nonstop for toothaches and was fine. Just don't mix with alcohol.

Nothing....ironically, if you take too many (more than you have taken) you run the risk of getting a headache from the over-dosage. But it is OK to take what you have.

Nothing. Your fine...you might get a little queasy but nothing serious. People take that many in a day all the time. Just don't do it often.

Probaly nothing. You're only supposed to take 2 (max) every 4 to 6 hours!!!
