How many tablets of 800mg ibuprofen will kill u? i will not try this! i want to live. i was just curious.

Jennifer replied: "You can't kill yourself with Ibuprofen. It's extremely irritating to the stomach, so large doses of it will make you vomit."

lou_lop replied: "If you take too many ibuprofen tablets, chances are you'll be vomiting them back up before they have a chance to take effect, and after you'll have an excruciating pain in your stomach to deal with. Without painkillers. Theoretically, medical help isn't needed until you manage to force over 400mg/kg into your body...so we're talking, for a guy, about 40 800mg tablets. Even then, the only reason you'd recieve medical help is because there'd be an underlying reason you weren't vomiting up 40 tablets on your own already, and they'd give you something nasty like charcoal solution to force a bit of the old purging, or at least adsorb most of the chemicals that would otherwise hurt your stomach. But lethal doses...nah."

nick r replied: "depends on your size and male female whats in your stomac and if you took any alcohol with the pills i would give you the best estimat of 60 8oomg pills and 12 12oz beers would kill ya for a 200lb male"

Can taking a whole bottle of ibuprofen kill someone? If not what happens to your body? I have a young girl in my youth group who almost took a whole bottle of ibuprofen but someone walked in. I have heard that it won't kill you but only give you permanent health damage. I am thinking if I can tell her specifically what might happen to her body that that might be a barrier to her trying that again.

thedonutkid replied: "It will kill..it destroys your liver."

kagmi replied: "Yes, it will kill you. If the person is treated in time with a stomach pump and some rather nasty treatments, they may life, but if they're not treated it will definitely kill you. It destroys your liver, and could also destroy the lining of your stomach, though I'm not sure which would kill you first. If the girl is suicidal, telling her about the ill health affects won't help--I'm guessing she already knows. In that case she needs other help, the support of caring people and possibly also psychiatric treatment to help figure out why she wants to do this. I'd definitely recommend therapy for her. People often have reasons they don't even realize for trying to take their lives, and you won't have much luck if you just ignore the reasons."

psycho.lycious replied: "it won't be immediately fatal,but it will destroy the liver and possibly cause cirrhosis. it would eventually kill the person"

littleelttilmik replied: "I think if this has happened now, and you're wondering should you seek medical treatment the answer is definitely yes just incase something unexpected happens like her stomach bleeds. If you're simply part of her therapy , i.e. a youth leader or counsellor then you'd wanna be looking at the underlying illness in the child i.e suicidal or parasuicidal with help from a psychologist. Both illnesses can result in death . If you are another kid in the youth group then be careful what you say and realise the issue is not really about ibuprofen, rather about your friends pschological problems. I guess your best bet would be to be a good friend and maybe treat the girl as if to say that you undestand she will get better and not make an issue of it and maybe tell her we all have our sad moments and very much make her one of the group...but leave the psychology to the experts....in otherwords be what you're good at....be a friend and treat her normal and help normalise her socially"

LINDA R replied: "Yes. It can damage the liver, which can lead to death. In this case, I don't think it would help to simply tell the girl what would happen if she took a whole bottle of pills; wanting to do that indicates that she already knows it could kill her. She needs counseling to help her deal with whatever is bothering her; she might not even realize what is causing her to feel bad."

SZO replied: "No one dies with an overdose with Ibuprofen but the adverse effects are: (Ibuprofen overdose) nausea, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal ulceration/bleeding diarrhea, epistaxis, headache, dizziness, unexplained rash hypertension photosensitivity increased risk for heart disease especially myocardial infarction risk for irritable bowel disease Please tell her these."

Will taking 16 ibuprofen and 16 paracetamol kill you? CALM DOWN I HAVENT DONE IT. and dont ask why I want to know that, too long to explain. AND AM NOT GOING TO. they are 500mg paracetamol.

boogeywoogy replied: "Probably not, but your liver would never forgive you."

Stratocaster1111 replied: "Paracetamol overdose is very slow and painful death, as the liver slowly suffers from irreversible damage. The pain and suffering can last for more than a week. The maximum daily intake of paracetamol is 4g (8 tablets). The maximum single does is 1g (2 tablets)."

will ibuprofen kill my dog? My dog ate an 800 mg ibuprofen tablet. He is a small Yorkie, about 5 pounds. Will he be okay? He is acting normal.

angelhaiku replied: "I don't know if anyone on this board has the authority to say. I'd call a vet if I were you. I don't think it will kill him, but he may get sick since my 200 lb husband usually takes 1000 mg :) so a little 5 lb yorkie may not just shake it off."

I win replied: "yes it will kill him i'm serious. the max person dose without a prescription is 400mg, that's for a 150lb. person. INDUCE VOMITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Jessie replied: "Induce vomiting. To do this you give the dog 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide per ten pounds of body weight, walk her. If she doesn't vomit, do it again in 15 minutes. Call the vet or the ASPCA Poison Control line 888-426-4435 ASAP! Ibuprofen is toxic to dogs. They don't have the proper enzymes to break it down and it causes organ damage. This is an emergency."

Wildday replied: "Call your vet asap"

T-1000 replied: "Alot will. 800mg is fine. Ibuprofin is bad for them though. They can have asprin though"

stevie-g replied: "anything over 100 mg for any dog is considered dangerous. If you love your dog, call the vet."

How many ibuprofen does it take to kill you? My friend texted me and told me that she took over 60 ibuprofen.. Will it kill her? =/

rhay replied: "it will kill her liver...but i don't think it will kill her. she will probably throw the majority of it up."

obamatheantichrist replied: "Get your friend to the ER. Even if the amount doesn't kill her she needs a psych. evaluation and treatment. WARNING: never give out lethal dose info on line! Too many people do that to get info on how to kill themselves!"

maddkow247 replied: "The maximum recommended theraputic dose is 3200 mg/day. Severe adverse affects can be exhibited at doses above 400mg/kg assuming she weighs about 70 Kg, she would need to take about 28000 mg to be in severe danger. 60 tablets of the standard OTC pill size of 200mg comes to about 12,000 mg of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen will not ruin her liver, but she is in moderate to severe danger of renal failure, as ibuprofen is toxic to the kidneys. The good news for your friend though, is that it takes several horrifically painful days to die from renal failure. As urine builds up in her blood stream, electrolyte imbalance will cause her heart and other vital organs to swell. Encephalitis will cause tremors, hallucinations, and seizures. Her organs will then begin to fail one by one as her body shuts down. Her swollen brain will wrack her body with constant seizures until she slips into an irreversable coma and finally into the sweet surcease of death."

will ibuprofen kill a bone graft? a nurse told me that it would. a dr perscribed it and the bone graft is dead and infected having surgery again i believe cause the dr proscribed ibuprofen

Papagenu replied: "ibuprofen is a poison btw Acetaminophen is a horrible drug, causes more painful deaths in the US than any other drug on the market. Stay away from acetemine based drugs and go -organic- if you know what I mean, your liver will thank you."

Phenomanon replied: "I have never heard of that as a problem, and in all my research did not find even a suggestion of such. Ibuprofen does have possible side effects, such as higher risk of stroke or heart attack, ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines. It is a NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication) which means it works to stop inflamation. Speak to your doctor bout the concern or look it up in the library, they have many medical books there."

tess replied: "Nsaids have been proven to slow bone healing. Our Orthopedic Surgeon said it was o.k. for short term but not for any long term. How long were you on the Ibuprofen for? Sometimes bone grafts don't take. Sometimes there's no obvious reason. If you have osteomylitis (bone infection), that would be the reason the graft died, not an anti-inflammitory"

will the ibuprofen kill me? last night i was really stupid and had a death wish i took at least 30 ibuprofen 200mg each and went to sleep, now i feel really dizzy, warm, and nauseous should i get help now? or is it to late?

HayleyWaillie replied: "why the hell did u do that were u high or were u drunk go to the docters just to be sure lol"

andrea replied: "i would go to the doctors if i were you"

dolce.lover5 replied: "no its not gonna kill u"

swelou replied: "It won't kill you but you should go to the doctor. They are going to ask why you did that. They will probably hold you for a few days to make sure you aren't suicidal."

can taking zyprexa (anti-psychotic) and ibuprofen together kill you? I take Zyprexa every night. I take Ibuprofen for cramps. I am worried that if I take them at the same time would it kill me or have serious side effects?

Dr. Favorite replied: "No no it can not kill you. In fact, relaxing and taking some additional sleeping pills can calm your body and is good for you."

diving_chick9559 replied: "yeah but check with your doctor or check a drug guide or some website to be sure"

Simon W replied: "No, but too much Ibuprofen can cause internal bleeding. Zyprexa is a horrible antipsychotic, it makes you tired, fat and depressed."

Melody replied: "Call the pharmacy and ask a pharmacist. They know about contraindications between drugs. I doubt it would hurt you, I've taken antipsychotics and I'm pretty sure I took some ibiuprophen at some point while I was on those drugs... Lol, I'm not on them anymore! I had really bad reactions, but I they work for whatever you have. For me, it's just not worth the dyskenesia, dystonic reactions, agitation and other crazy things they did to me. Good luck!"

Simba replied: "Call the local pharmacist. Tell what you are taking and any other information. They would be more than happy to help. It also helps to keep to one pharmacy. This would help keep errors to a minimum. For example I could say that no, I have not heard of any general contraindications regarding these two medications. So I say always ask your pharmacist."

lost2day replied: "AMEN SIMON! Zyprexa is the worse anti psychotic out there. I`ve seen people gain over 60lbs on that drug."

Can 4200mg of Ibuprofen kill someone? Now before you jump to conclusions no i'm not trying to kill myself, my friend and I just can't decided if it will or not. So i'm just wondering.

Proud American replied: "It could...but if nothing else it will surely cause liver damage"

Johnathan replied: "How Bout a 4200mg Seroquel"

Katie replied: "You're not supposed to take more than 1,000mg of ibuprofen in any 24 hours. It probably won't kill you but it will cause MAJOR liver damage! So its not recommended!"

Rose replied: "If you consume more than 1000mg in one hour your body will reject it and after you stop vomiting your body will shut down resulting in either a seizure or brain damage. :D"

amy replied: "no,but you have to take it 1 every 4 hours,some people take 800mg,4 times a day it has to be prescribe by a doctor."

Daney replied: "Ok, let's be accurate about this. You are talking about a medication. The fact you have asked this question means you are out of your depth and shouldn't consider it. Doctors prescribe medications for patients in safe dosages. There are also warnings which go with this and are often on the container. Drowsiness, nausea etc, can often be warnings and when a doctor sets a dosage it is for the level of treatment he is administering based on on the symptoms presented and diagnosis of the disorder. The second thing is that you are a very intelligent person. You have asked the question, and now you know the answer. Medications are for ill people and are prescribed by doctors for patients. A good rule of thumb is "If I take this and I don't know what it's for, it may be lethal". Excellent question."

Marie replied: "Overdosing like that will result in symptoms that may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, drowsiness, black or bloody stools, coughing up blood, shallow breathing, fainting, or coma. Death is rare with Ibuprofen but still very possible. And with 4200 mg at one time is very likely to result in death. Mainly It will RUIN your stomach and gastrointestinal lining. Causing internal bleeding. Which could in return send your body into shock, or cardiac arrest and then possibly death. Anything above 400mg has the possibility to be lethal."
