You will get an upset stomach and may get constipated. You need to take way more than that to hurt yourself.



Oh MY GOD! You are only suppose to take the minimum effective dosage. ONE 200 milligram pill. IF your body is in extreme pain,then and only then should you take two pills,and that is only for a first dose. Continue with ONE after that every 6-8 hours.

Ibuprofen Overdose can cause stinking vomiting, profuse sweating, severe abdominal pain, and can land you straight in the mental hospital for attempted suicide, where you may be medicated with things like liquid carbon or charcoal. Charcoal has the ability to absorb the drug before it can enter the systemic circulation. Another form of treatment to fight Ibuprofen overdose is gastric lavage which is not very popular, but is considered if the intake is potentially life threatening. This treatment can be performed within 60 minutes of ingestion of Ibuprofen.

Below 100 mg/kg toxic effects of Ibuprofen are less likely. But doses above 400 mg/kg are considered an overdose and can result into any of the above consequences. It is not possible to determine a precise dose that crosses the danger line as it varies from person to person depending upon his/her weight, age and medical record of the individual patient.

_edit_
TOTAL Ibuprofen intake per day - a 24 hour period of time should not exceed 1200 milligrams OTC(without prescription). This is not to be taken ALL AT ONE TIME,BUT with 6-8 hours in between doses.

IF you suspect overdose,seek treatment immediately is the safest course of action!

it depends on very many diffrent things i know one thing for sure if u take pills often you build up tolerance and dont take 20 for sure it made me throw up and really dizzy sick to stomach if you dont take those often id say take 3 or 4



You'll live. This dose may interrupt your period if you currently are having it. The drug is labeled for a maximum dose of 1,200 mg.



It will result in a very stupid person.



Wow
