Answers:
Yes very, Advil, ibuprofen and Motrin may have different names but they all contain the same active drug ibuprofen so effectively what you have done is take 9 ibu tablets!. Ibuprofen is also an anti inflammatory drug which has a thinning effect on the blood!. You need to be very careful when taking multiple drugs as you can safely take 2 panadol and 2 ibu as they do not contain the same active drug!. The reason that there is recommended dosage amount is because the liver can not filter the drug out of your system any quicker than 2 every 4 hours, please stick to recommended dosages for any pain drug as you don't want to do any damage to your body!. If you need to then take 2 panadol with 2 of the drugs you named above but no more!. Next time you see your doc tell him about your ankles and hips hurting and he may have some good advice for pain management!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

If you are a healthy adult who weighs more than 100 pounds, it probably won't have any ill effect at all!. It MAY bother your stomach, and be aware that it's very hard on your liver, too!.

When my back was out, I was taking 800 mg ibuprofen at a pop!. I started taking milk thistle (an herbal supplement, easily found at your nearest GNC or almost any store that sells herbal supplements) to support my liver function and protect it from damage!.

I recommend it to anyone who takes ibuprofen, acetominophen or motrin on a regular basis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i concur w/everyone!. it's all good advice!. most of all you wouldn't want to take that much medicine every single day for a prolonged period that would eventually harm your liver and harm your stomach long before that point!. if you are in that much pain i would go see your general dr!. try ice packs too!. 15 mins every 4 hrs!. as needed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it is!. You just took 9 pills of the exact same thing!. That could cause serious stomach damage!. Next time, consult a pharmacist before mixing and matching pain meds like that!. Or better yet, see a doctor about the pain you're having!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
