Hiw much ibuprofen can i safely take

Soo I've been having a tooth ache lately and my doctor told me I should just take the ibuprofen he prescribed to me not too long ago
They're 800mg tablets but, they really aren't helping much at all
So could I take two at a time? Or maybe more? & how many times per day?

If I was you I would not take more then 800mg at a time. It can cause a lot of renal damage in some people. Doctors are quite difficult to get strong painkillers from, even when they are needed. You should see a dentist, because they will give you something that might help you a little more like hydrocodone. But do not take more then prescribed of ibuprofen cause it will not help you any more.

Good luck, I know dental pain is the worst.

You should not exceed that much ibuprofen, unless the doctor advises you to do so.

You also should only take ibuprofen once every four hours. However, you can take ibuprofen. Wait two hours. Take acetaminaphin. Wait two more hours. Take ibuprofen again because it's been four hours. Two hours later, take acetaminaphin again.

If the toothache is that bad, you need to see a dentist. It may need to be removed.

800mg is the maximum per dose. Do not exceed the directions on the label. You can cause kidney damage very quickly by taking too much ibuprofen, as well as tear up your stomach. If the ibuprofen isn't helping, talk to your dentist.

I had a major kidney stone attack a few months ago. My Dr. said take ibuprofen at a maximum of 2500 mg per day. (it didn't help either. I ended up in hospital. Morphine is my new favourite drug!!)

Go see a dentist.

No no no!!!! Never take too much of anything! Ask about a different form of pain relief such as orajel to go along with the ibuprofen.

omg thats horrible
