Question 1

How much motrin to take per day for shoulder bursitis ?

Accepted Answer

The toxic dose for Motrin is 2400mg, each tablet contain 200mg

Question 2

An elderly patient has taken ibuprofen (motrin) 800 mg two times per day for longer than 10 years. what would happen?

Accepted Answer

Generally not much. That is a relatively modest dose. The greatest risks are GI issues (ulcer, bleed, gastritis).

Question 3

I've had psuedoallergies to nsaids. if i go thru a desensitization program for aspirin, does that also allow me to resume ibuprofen products?

Accepted Answer

If the desensitization is succesful for asa it will probably be succesful for the nsaids as well.  Before attempting this it might be worthwhile to consider three meds which generally have very low potential to induce pseudoallergy:
salsalate, 
choline magnesium trisalicylate , 
diflunisal .

Ask your doc.

Question 4

I only have ibuprofen... is that okay?  will vaseline help prevent scarring/permanent discoloration?  it's all along the side of my face.  i have both neosporin and vaseline.  should i apply a dressing afterward, or allow it to air dry?  sorry for so many

Accepted Answer

How did this happen to you? How long ago? How deep are the cuts? A superficial cut (which only cuts the epidermis) will heal without scar. Deeper cuts may well scar. Ibuprofen is for pain and inflammation and neosporin is to prevent infection. You can see a cosmetic dermatologist or a facial plastic surgeon for more advice.

Question 5

Any problem with 2400 mg motrin/ day?

Accepted Answer

The dose depends on the age & the condition it is used to treat. For example, for an adult with arthritis, the dose is 400-800 mg. Every 6 to 8 hours. Lower dose is advised for patients with kidney or liver problems.

Question 6

How many 800 mg motrin can i safely take a day?

No more than 3x per day, always with food in your stomach to protect the stomach lining....

Question 7

Getting fevers at night. they go up to around 102 then i take motrin to reduce it and it does. find during day. what is this ?

Accepted Answer

Do you have any other symptoms such as sore  throat,cough,rash,diarrhea,urinary symptoms? If not and nocturnal fevers continue for over a week, it's time to see your physician for a complete examination and various testing which include blood and urine cultures,possible chest xray,etc.

Question 8

Is it safe if i take motrin pills for calcaneal spur !!!! & how many times should i take it in day?

Accepted Answer

You'd be better served rolling a frozen water bottle on your heel, stretching your Achilles' tendon, and wearing shoes with good arch support. Take the Motrin if those don't help as directed on the bottle. A 5-day course is what I would do but be careful as that med can irritate your stomach and raise your blood pressure.

Question 9

I got a temporary crown yesterday & my mouth is sore, i took 400mgs of motrin yesterday then 7 hours later took 400 more, how much can u take in a day?

Accepted Answer

3200 mg in a 24 hour period.

Question 10

Can taking 2 much tylenol, 250 mg, 4/day for/3 days every day, along with some motrin, 400 mg, 3 days, plus every day taking tums at least 4 tablets/500mg, cause you to have a slight morning headache? & sometimes upset stomach?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it could. What other medications are you taking. It would be useful to discuss all the mediations, prescription, herbals, over the counter drugs with your doctor so that you are not over medicating yourself.
Wish you good health!
