A member asked:

What kind of damage happens when you take 8000mg of ibuprofen daily?

Dr. Anthony Sharber answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Liver damage: That large of a dose taken multiple times can lead to organ damage such as liver, GI tract, and kidneys to name a few. Please take medications exactly as prescribed and follow the directions you were given and don't take more than needed.
