I have accidently taken 400mg x 6 of ibuprofen i only started taking it today and miss read the instructions do i need to go to the er?

Not yet unless..: No, but don't take anymore, and drink lots of water to flush it out. We commonly prescribe 800 to take 3 times a day so that is 2400mg a day. You have just taken it all at once. Go to ER for unusual bleeding and other symptoms, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, drowsiness, black or bloody stools, coughing up blood, shallow breathing, fainting, or coma.
