Question 2

Accepted Answer

over max dose : You should not take over 3200mg in 24 hrs. Take with food and make sure there are no contraindications to you taking this med and there are no drug interactions with any medications you are taking.

Question 3

i am having a severe pelvic pain. should i take ibuprofen 600 mg every 4 hours or vicodin ?

Accepted Answer

Would suggest: Ibuprofen over vicodin, but it is also important to find the cause of pain that you consider severe. Pelvic pain can be difficult to diagnose and can be something minor or something serious and you should be checked out just to make sure nothing serious is causing the pain. I hope that helps and that you feel better soon.

Duration : Aleve has a longer duration of action. Apply local heat to the affected area.

Question 5

dentist told me today to take 600mg advil (ibuprofen) every four hours until my root canal on monday. is this safe?

For most people: Is your kidney function normal? Have you ever had stomach bleeding? Do you take aspirin? Other meds? Probably your pain control will be just as good at twice a day.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

See below: Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen will not help cold or cough symptoms. If she has not been seen, she should see her doctor.

Question 8

No: The dosing period for Ibuprofen is minimum of every 6-8.  Sooner than that can result in high doses that can problems with the kidneys and increased GI upset.

Either way.: No significant difference.

Question 10

my dr just told me i have cervical erosion? what can i do to help it heal? she just told me to take advil (ibuprofen) every 4 hours?

Accepted Answer

Cervical erosions: Cervical erosions if benign, heal by themselves and that's why she told you to take advil (ibuprofen). I would only take it if there was any pain in the vagina, but otherwise it would heal up on its own.
