Question 3

can i take 3 advil (ibuprofen) cold and sinuses?

Accepted Answer

No: Always follow the directions on the packaging. Many of these products contain antihistamines that can cause dry mouth and dizziness. Excessive amounts of advil can also cause stomach acid upset. If you are having trouble with congestion - snort some nasal saline and hack out the buggers. Consider adding a nasal steroid spray once a day - Nasocort OTC. Cool mist humidifier at night.

Question 4

can i take 3 advil (ibuprofen) liquid gel nighttime?

Accepted Answer

Yes: One Advil (ibuprofen) liquid gel is 200 mg and you can take up to 800 mg per dose of Ibuprofen which is Advil (ibuprofen).  Make sure you take it with some food in your stomach as it can make your stomach hurt.  It is better to get Motrin which is 400 mg or Ibuprofen 800 or 600 mg tabs if you need a higher dose than Advil (ibuprofen) so you are not taking too many tabs at a time.

Question 5

i had 2 cocktails and a little beer starting at 5 ending at 8 it's 3:17 am right now can i take 3 advil (ibuprofen) and be ok?

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't suggest it: Ibuprofen has a lot of potential side effects, but chief among them is stomach irritation, which can lead to actual hemorrhage in the stomach and duodenum. Alcohol increases the chance of this happening. The non-prescription strength is 200 mg, and 3 of them would be 600 mg, a prescription strength. This should not be done without discussion with a physician who knows your full medical history etc

Accepted Answer

Too much of each: You are taking too much of each medication .  The advil (ibuprofen) can damage or destroy your kidneys, and the acetaminophen will eventually damage your liver.  Please stop taking so much if these medications and see your physician for your medical problem for the appropriate treatment before it is too late and irreparable damage has been done.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Dayquil plus Advil (ibuprofen): Yes, you can. Although not ideal, you can take DayQuil after taking Advil since it does not contain any similar non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. It does contain acetomenophen which is the same product in Tylenol (acetaminophen).

Accepted Answer

The : The GI (gastrointestinal) symptoms you described may be related to an infectious process. However, it is more likely that you are dealing with a viral gastroenteritis as opposed to an intestinal infection. The symptoms usually resolve in about a week or so. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids. If you are not better yet and/or have fever, blood or mucous in your stool, seek medical care right away.
