A member asked:
My friend has been taking 20+ ibuprofen a day for the past couple weeks. is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very Dangerous : 20 200mg. Ibuprofen are 4000 mg. More than twice the maximum daily dose. Read the warning label that comes with the medication - especially what is written inside the black box. A person in so much pain should see a doctor to get relief.
