A member asked:
Can you overdose if you accidentally take more iburprofen then your meant to?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: On how many extra you actually took by mistake. If you simply took a few more than you were supposed to, you may get an upset stomach, but will most likely be fine. If a person takes many pills, then there is always the chance of overdosing to the point of causing some damage. If you took way too many, call your local emergency department or the poison control hotline at 1-800-222-1222.
