Is taking 2 600mg ibuprofen bad?
20000mg in 24 hrs is a severe overdose! Immediately take activated charcoal and seek medical assistance. The maximum dose for self medication should be below 2000mg over 24 hrs, with no single dose of more than 400mg. The direct analgetic (pain killing) effect does not increase with doses above 400mg, however, doses up to 800mg show an additional anti-inflammatory effect.

Can ibuprofen cause you to dump protein in urine?
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can affect kidney function, particularly in individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions or those taking high doses over extended periods. While it is not a common side effect, NSAIDs like ibuprofen can lead to nephrotoxicity and potentially cause proteinuria, which is the presence of excess protein in urine. If there are concerns about kidney health or protein levels in urine while taking ibuprofen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.

What is the difference prescription Ibuprofen and store bought Ibuprofen?
the price From my own experience there must be a difference in the coating. I can easily stomach 4 over the counter ibuprofin 3times daily (and have for 20 yrs.) which = the same as 1 800mg. prescription tablet 3times daily. I can not stomach the prescription at all. Taking 2 400mg. prescription ibuprofin also went down fine. but the prescription can cost much more than the walmart version-$8 or less for 500 tablets.
Can you give a 7 year old an ibuprofen 200mg tablet?
You can access ibuprofen dosing charts for children online. Age is not the first determination for dosing. Most charts begin at 6 months of age, then proceed by weight. Checking different web sites, I did however find conflicting dose charts. When dealing with a child I tend to side with caution. The following is a chart I found to be most accurate; http://www.texaschildrens.org/Parents/TipsArticles/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=921Once a child reaches the weight necessary to be given 200mg of ibuprofen, its a personal choice as to what form to give. A 200mg tablet/capsule/capsule/ etc may be given if tolerated.Please remember, "more is not necessarily better!" Recommended doses are there for a reason. Taking more than recommended can quickly become toxic and do irreparable damage to your body.
