How much ibuprofen can i take?

While the typical dose is two 200mg tablets (400mg), doctors will often recommend up to four 200mg tablets (800mg) in times of severe muscular cramping or pain.

If you do take 800mg of Ibuprofen, be sure not to exceed a dosage of 1600mg in any 24-hour period, and it would be unwise to continue taking Ibuprofen at this level for more than 3-5 days.

Can't say for a fact yes, but I am on amoxicillin for an infected c-section incision and was also given Celebrex for gallbladder attacks which is in the same drug group as ibuprofen (both non-steroid anti-inflammatory). Best thing is to ask a Dr. though as using both could increase the risk of gastrointestinal reactions.

What do you do if a dog eats children's Motrin?

Our dog just ingested ibuprofen today - we are not sure how many pills in the bottle were already used by us, but there were now 20 missing. our guess is that he consumed between 0 and 10 accidentally because he left the rest all over the house after he realized they did not taste good and just wanted to chew the bottle. Anyways, if this happens to you, you should immediately induce vomiting... a table spoon of hydrogen peroxide will do the trick. Then you should get to an animal hospital that has overnight care because he will need iv's and gi protectants for 2-3 days. If this all happens in a timely manner then the drug may not have time to cause kidney failure.

Take the dog to the vet nearby.

How much ibuprofen to take to stop period?

I don't have an answer to this question; I just have a question. Why would you want to stop the natural cleansing process of the uterus? If you're having extreme pain, there has got to be something else going on. This doesn't seem to be the place for answering that question. You should be talking with your gyn-ob doctor because some further investigation needs to be done. Good luck!

How do I treat chronic back pain?

Getting rid of chronic pain, eh? That's a toughie. There are many many types of chronic pain including but not limited to: Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Arthritis, and certain types of Autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, and Osteoarthiritis. (there are many other Autoimmune diseases, these are just a few) It really depends on what you have. I would generally recommend talking to your doctor (I prefer specialists) about pain medicines that would help and treatments if you have been diagnosed with something specific. I would also recommend possibly trying alternative measures like massages and accupuncture. Libraries are packed with self-help books and information on your specific type of chronic pain and general information, I would suggest taking full advantage of that wealth of knowledge. I hope this information has helped you, and if you want more information and if you can tell me your specific type of chronic pain I could possibly help you some more. Just contact me here.

Also, make sure to follow dosing correctly and take the lowest effective dose.

Can you take diplofenac sodium tablets and paracetamol together?

Yes Diclofenac can be used as an adjuvant treatment with Paracetamol to reduce pain. They can be used together for up to 48 hours, after that it is reccommended that Paracetamol use be discontinued to avoid it building up in your system. For the same reason you also must not exceed one paracetamol tablet in every 4-6 hours and stay within the daily maximum dose of 4g. There are no interactions between the drugs to worry about but confusion can be caused because Diclofenac can be used long term and Paracetamol cannot, and so if someone believed they could take the two together long term, or simply got used to taking the two together by habit, then they would cause a paracetamol overdose.

How long do the withdrawals last for after stopping ibuprofen?

I don't know if you can or not. This is why I'm looking for the info. I was taking 600-800 mg a day due to severe shoulder pain. I stopped taking it as of yesterday morning and started experiencing all-over body aches, a dull headache, fatigue, and general malaise.

Advantages of ibuprofen over diclofenac?

Ibuprofen has fewer side effects than diclofenac, though it's anti-inflammatory properties are weaker. Common side effects include gastro-intestinal discomfort (stomach ache), nausea and bleeding and ulceration. These can be reduced by taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with food.

I must add though, you should follow the advice your doctor gave. If you turn to answers.com, you probably don't have the expertise on which to make an informed decision.
