What do I do if I took too much ibuprofen?What do I do if I took too much ibuprofen?
Im suffering from a horrible headache. So bad that I, like an idiot, have lost track of how much ibuprofen I have taken for it. I wasnt completely irresponsible; my doctor recommended I take 4 tablets to cope with it, so I take three or four about every six hours.
But if I really cant bear it, I might take one more. And being as forgetful as I am, Im worried that I took maybe 6 of the 200 mg tablets within the past 2 hours. I dont even know how much that is within the persist 24 hours, maybe 10-13? Im very light-headed and thought it was from the ache, but now Im worried its from taking too much ibuprofen. Im mostly wondering if theres anything I can do to take care of myself after taking this much medication- maybe to make me feel less faint and sick. I dont want to have to go to the doctor, but obviously I will if mandatory.
