Toxic effects are unlikely below about 100 mg / kg body mass.

They include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, nystagmus, gastrointestinal bleeding, seizures, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalaemia, hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, coma, hepatic dysfunction, acute renal failure, cyanosis, respiratory depression, and cardiac arrest.

If you're looking to kill yourself, ibuprofen is an extremely poor choice. You'll most likely wake up in the hospital with a huge bill in addition to your current problems.

If you're looking to pretend to kill yourself, ibuprofen is, again, an extremely poor choice. You might not wake up. Alternatively, you might wake up with severe kidney damage, and whatever problems you think you have now are pretty much peanuts to that.

you should only take six a day for a maximum of one month. I would like to add that you should read the label on the bottle and if in doubt phone your pharmacist. In general, 2400 mg per day is considered a maximum dose. Aspirin and ibuprofen are et the top of the list for being able to cause gastric erosion and bleeding if used at high doses for weeks to months. If you need a product like this,Celebrex from your physician may be a better choice.

The most i have ever been prescribed is 2000mg tablets, i was to take only one every 6 -8 hours.

There are guidelines that are on the bottle of any medication. I suggest that you look there first, and start with the recommended dosage. As with anything if you take to much of it then it may cause harm to your body.

If you have reoccurring pain and you are constantly in need of ibuprofen, or the dosage isn't working then I recommend you see your doctor.

actually u can also take ibuprofen 400 mg tab that is also safe to take.it is one of the safest NSAID's

Dont take too much as it can be bad for. I dont know if you know but medicine is actually a drug, not a bad drug like cocaine or weed but a good medical drug. I you are taking neurofene whish contains Ibuprofen then only take 2-3 a day, but at different times during a daily period. Any oher Ibuprofen, you hould not take everyday, 3 times a week, once aday to be on the safe side.

How much paracetamal and ibrofen can you take at once?

You can take paracetamol four times a day, and ibuprofen 3 times. So you could take 1000mg of paracetamol (2 tablets, if you're over 12) with breakfast, lunch and dinner and at bedtime, and 400mg of ibuprofen (if over 12) mid morning, mid afternoon and mid evening, for a painkilling regime where you get to take something every couple of hours. If you were having to do this all day every day, you should be visiting your GP for optimal help with your symptoms. You can take the tablets together, if you had a headache you could take two paracetamol and 400mg ibuprofen together, or 500mg of paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen - always better to start with the smaller dose and see if it works for you before going in with the maximum! But you still need to remain within the daily limits described.
