How much ibuprofen is safe to take?!


Question: How much ibuprofen is safe to take!?
I'm getting married in a month and I have TMJ!. When I smile alot soon my jaw kills me!. So on my wedding day I want to NOT hurt!. My doc told me I could take 800mg every four hours!. Is it possible to take it a bit more due to this special day and not wanting to hurt!? I normally don't take ibuprofen on a regular basic!.
I'm a plus size girl so i'm not 90lbs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have been taking 1000mg for neck pain for a couple of weeks and I am still kicking!Www@Answer-Health@Com

See if the doctor will prescribe muscle relaxers!. That will relax the jaw so it doesn't ache as much!. What kind of doctor are you going to!? When my daughter had a TMJ disorder, she went to an oral surgeon!. He was able to do a procedure in the office to help her and then prescribed muscle relaxers!. She hasn't had problems with her jaw in years!.

Congratulations on the wedding! I hope you have a pain-free day!Www@Answer-Health@Com

could be!. i took a whole giant bottle one time in one week during football double sessions and i was perfectly fine!. as long as its only for a short time i think its ok!. don't overdose too much though!. i think i took 6 every 2 hours instead of the recommended 4 every 4!. i didn't feel pain though =DWww@Answer-Health@Com

No, don't take 800mgs every 4 hours; it could very likely kill your liver!. The maximum dose you can take is 800mgs every 6-8 hours and a maximum dose of 2500mgs per day (a 24 hour period)!. Hope you feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, do NOT take over 800mg!. That is the most you can take at a time every 4 hrs!. However if your pain is so bad that the Ibuprofen is not helping much ask for a narcotic type pain medication!. No reason to be in pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
