A member asked:
Can you overdose on ibuprofen gel? sounds silly. but it's absorbed into the body. i used a big amount on my leg as muscle is sore. now i'm scared

Ibuprofen gel: Good question. This would depend on how big and long your leg is and how much you put on it and how much is absorbed. Bigger thing to worry about I would suggest.
