Why: Why are you taking 6 laxatives for a migraine? You will survive one dose of 800mg of ibuprofen but there are better treatments available that upset your stomach. You need to have a discussion with your doctor.

Yes: You should be fine. 800mg of Ibuprofen is a safe dose and there are no major drug interactions with laxatives. In future you should only take medications prescribed to you by your family doctor only

Meds: The two Ibuprofens is not a problem. 800mg of Ibuprofen can be take at one time. It is he maximum standard dose recommended. The six laxatives though might cause execessive diarrhea. I would not take any more laxatives for another 24 or 48 hours.
