ibuprofen
hi. it says on the ibuprofen bottles that you can only take 6 in 24 hours. (200mg) What happens if you take more than 6? I doubt 6 will kill you. How many will kill you? What are the side effects for 6 pills or more than 6 pills? Thanks

6 isn't going to kill you. I don't know how many will kill you.
The main problem with an OD of ibuprofen is liver damage. Long term use at high doses will cause liver damage. Most people who are on meds that contain ibuprofen have to get regular blood work done to check their levels.
Tylenol is the same story, only it damages kidneys instead of liver.
I stick with aspirin myself. :)

You shouldn't be worried about this unless you are sick. Popping pills is stupid, and THAT CAN kill you.
Ibuprofen won't have any really bad side effects, except that you'll get sick(er) and maybe throw up or make your condition worse. It's pretty harmless, but if you take more than 3 a day for 7 days a week, you'll probably get really sick and should call your doctor cause if you're poppin pills you could die from it. hope i could help

it would take quite a few ibuprofens to kill you, more than 6 a day would probly just make you sick.
