Question 5

i have 800 mg ibprophine how many can i take i'm real pain?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you have diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), or kidney disease, you have to be very careful with all nsaids (non steroidal inflamatory medicines) as these drugs will decrease the blood supply of the kidney and harm the kidney.  So, you first have to know how your kidney is doing by a blood test. If you are an average sized adult, 400-800 mg depending on how large you are.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Probably: Because Ibuprofen is metabolized through the kidney it is good to be cautious with this medication.  The important thing to know is that the 1 kidney is functioning well.  This is done with blood testing periodically.  In most cases with 1 kidney it is okay to take and occasional ibuprofen, however, you should check with your doctor about this as they would know more about your situation.
