Can 600mg of ibuprofen a day after back surgery cause any harm?
Naturally talk to your doctor, but generally 600 mg (3 tablets) is within the acceptable dosage range. However, be careful, because if you just had back surgery, it sounds like you may be taking other medication that the doctors may not want you to mix with ibuprofen.
Prolonged Ibuprfen use can be damaging to the stomach and the kidneys. It's hard to believe, but over 30,000 people die every year from aspirin and ibuprofin use (this is due to gastrointestinal and genitourinary damage.)
Anyway, I understand that there needs to be pain management after surgery. One must be careful, however, that he does not over do himself because he has numbed the warning signals. In other words, pain is your body's way of teaching you it's current limitations. When you do anything to decrease the pain signal, you must keep in mind your present capabilities. Often times people feel that they can do more than they actually can, because they have desensitized themselves. They are able to be more active or use a greater range of motion before they feel the same amount of pain. By this point, the body has already taken more stress/damage than it had desired to, leaving it in a more injured state than before. This can lead to greater use or more often use of the pain killers, which creates a perpetual cycle of self harm.
Although absolutly not intentional, we can sometimes cause more harm than good, when we overide the body's master control center. Use drugs responsibly, even if they seem like harmless, over-the-counter drugs!
Can you take Benylin and Advil together?

Can you take 1600 mg of ibuprofen and 325 mg of Tylenol together for a toothache?
Maximum recommended prescription strength does of ibuprofen is 800 mg. So taking any more than 4 200mg tablets at a time is not recommended. Furthermore after that 800mg dose your body doesn't really metabolize any more, and mostly you just end up peeing the excess out. To answer your question though, it's not harmful to take tylenol and ibuprofen together. They do not interact with each other in your body. Both can have liver complications, so don't do this long term however, and NEVER overdose on tylenol as it converts into a liver toxin and can kill you or cause severe liver damage.
For a toothache most of your pain is coming from inflammation, so the ibuprofen (which has an anti-inflammatory effect) will do a much better job than tylenol, which really isn't a preferred medication by most dentists.
As a practicing dentist however the most important thing to remember is that if you're in that much pain from a toothache it is NOT going to get better, only worse, and likely can lead to serious infection of your gums and jaw, which can become life threatening. So please see your dentist to get the cavity filled or the tooth removed, either way you'll be in much less pain than you are now.

Is the Ibuprofen dose for a dog 10milligrams per killograms?
The answer to this question is no!!!
There is safe Ibuprofen dosage for dogs.
There are some suggestions that Ibuprofen dosages for dogs are safe at 10 to 20 mg per pound of their body weight, but there is also a vast majority of the medical community that states it is only safe at 2 to 4 grams per pound of body weight and then only under the direct supervision and testing by your veterinarian.
But here is what you consider before you give your dog even 1 gram per body weight. Drug poisoning is the number one cause of poisoning in dogs, and ibuprofen is the number one drug that leads to poisoning as documented by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
They are thousands of dogs die worldwide every year because of this drug. If you give your dog any form of it in any dosage, it may be the last thing you ever give them other than a kiss and hug good-bye.
