A member asked:

How many motrin is safe to take in one month? i find myself needing a lot for head aches .still waiting to see nurologist .

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try to cut back: Increasing your Motrin will result in more frequent and intense headaches and could eventuate into chronic daily headaches which may be a major problem to break up the pattern. While awaiting your visit, get some help from your primary care physician.
