Ibuprofen

[Marie5656]

I take that amount every night at bedtime. Doctor's order. Try taking it with food if you take a high dose again, see if that helps any.

I was prescribed Ibuprofen, i took 1600 mg tablets twice a day. I stopped after they made me quite ill.

I was on that dose but also took 225 of voltrol which is an ibuprofen drug, so I was on 1825 for 6 years, for the last 18 months i was also on tablets to try to protect my stomach lining as i had been in pain and bleeding for a while, things reached a peak a couple of months ago and I am no longer allowed to take them unless I want to kick the bucket from internal bleeding

Sounds very familiar, i refused to take them in the end.

I wouldn't take them by mouth, either, if they're that dangerous.

I take a lot of Ibuprofen at the moment as I'm having pysiotherapy on a shoulder injury from 5 months ago. I take it quite often for dental or back pain too. I always take the 200mg tablets in pairs 3 times a day up to the maximum recommended allowance of 1200mg. You should always take them with orafter food or you stomach can start bleeding.

I am sure this post has made you feel better

I think this is what I like most about you, such a gentle touch. Thank you.
