Question 1

how much advil (ibuprofen) can i take in 24 hours

Accepted Answer

1800mg: You probably should not exceed 1800mg a day.  This all depends on your age, weight, renal function, and any comorbid medical conditions you might have.  There is no one right number.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Advildosage: As long s you dont exceed 6 tablets per day you should be okay'

Question 3

i was told to take 600-800 mg of advil every four hours for 24 hours before a mammogram. this is way over the 3200mg max. how do i do this safely?

Accepted Answer

2400 mgm: per 24 hours is the MAXIMUM recommended dosage.. This would allow you to take 600 mgm every 6 hours or 800 mgm every 8 hours...
This should be adequate for a Mammogram examination under usual conditions

Question 4

is it ok to take 2 doses of 8oo mg of advil (ibuprofen) in 24 hours?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes: It depends upon what it is being taken for as advil (ibuprofen) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and can interfere with healing of injuries or bones.

Question 5

can i take tylenol or advil 24 hours before pfizer/moderna vaccination?

Accepted Answer

: Some actually suggest you do so. I have no reason to believe it would interfere with the vaccine or increase your risks of any side effects. It may reduce some of the soreness many experience.

Question 6

can you take advil pm after you just took dayquil within the same hour?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But be careful on taking too much of either. Follow the directions

Question 7

i am sick and i just took advil cold and sinus 3 hours ago. how soon can i take nyquil?

Accepted Answer

8 hours.: Taking either one of them would be enough unless you want to be drowsy . Nyquil Cold And Flu (Acetaminophen / Dextromethorphan / Doxylamine) Advil Cold And Sinus (Ibuprofen / Pseudoephedrine) is a good combination medicine to relieve pain and congestion, but it's more medicine than you need if you only have one symptom.

Question 8

i took advil (ibuprofen) almost 4 hours ago, can i take alive now?

Accepted Answer

Anti inflammatory.: Yes you may take aleve, (naproxen) but do not have this as  a habit to avid irritation to stomach and other side effects.

Question 9

can you take 600 mg of advil (ibuprofen) every 4 hours for two days?

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 10

is it okay to take advil pm after having 2 glasses of wine 5 hours ago?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Advil PM is a combination of ibuprofen and diphenhydramine.  Both of these are safe for the liver, which is the organ that helps metabolize the alcohol in the wine. It is much better to take this than Tylenol PM, because alcohol and Tylenol (acetaminophen) are a bad combination because it causes your liver to work twice as hard (they both are metabolized by the liver).
