A member asked:

I've taken 12 220mg aleve (naproxen) in the past four hours to aleviate a pain in my tooth. should i be okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: You have actually taken a fairly toxic dose of naproxyn sodium: 12x 220mg= 2640 mg ( 2.64 grams). Maximum daily dose of this medicine is 1,500 mg ( 500 mg 3x/day)- in severe cases. Go to the ER now- you have inadvertently poisoned yourself.

Can Aleve cause kidney damage? How long does it take for that to happen? I knew someone that took Motrin for 1-2 weeks for tooth pain and damaged their kidneys. I took Aleve 12 times in a month to month in a half because of pain. Not 12 days in a row?
