Question 1

Can i crush 1 advil: ibuprofen tablet, mix it with water and drink it?

Accepted Answer

It will taste bitter. Why do you want to take Advil? Can you not swallow a pill? 
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

Can i crush midol or advil (ibuprofen) put it in water and drink it to relieve menstrual cramps?

Accepted Answer

Crushing the tablet to mix in water and then drinking it rather than swallowing the pill only mildly alters the actual efficacy due to the loss of protective coating which extends the absorption to maximize physiological response from its absorption starting in the stomach.

Question 4

You can use over the counter rinses such as Orajel or Peroxyl as needed, and follow up with your primary care provider within 1 week if not improved, I hope this helps.

Question 5

I took 2000 mg of advil at once, am i at risk?

Accepted Answer

If you have normal kidneys and liver, you should be able to metabolize this medicine. You took close to the maximum daily dose all at once. You should definitely not take any more for the next 24-48 hours. If you begin to feel ill, then go to the nearest ER so that you can be evaluated, including bloodwork to check renal and liver functions. Best of luck to you!

Question 6

Can i take advil while taking cepfodoxime?  thank you!

Accepted Answer

I found on drug-drug interactions btwn Advil (brand of ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory pain medication) and Cefpodoxime (a cephalosporin-class antibiotic) at https://www.drugs.com/interactions-check.php?drug_list=552-0,1310-782. But be sure to read about potential side effects of each, especially gastritis from former, and vaginal yeast infection & diarrhea from latter.

Question 10

I'm busy and accidentally took two advil 200 mg pills two hours after i had already taken two of the advil pills. will this make me sick?

Accepted Answer

If you are generally healthy, in particular if your kidney function is typically normal, you should be able to metabolize 800mg of Advil (ibuprofen) well enough.  There is a prescription dosage of ibuprofen that is 800mg in a single pill. It can be hard on the stomach and kidneys, however, so try not to take that much at once without first checking with your doctor.
