one of my wisdom teeth is growing in and it hurts soooooo bad! i have been taking ibuprofen for the pain and it works well. i take two 200mg pills probly twice a day. my sister said that i shouldnt do that because it could cause stomach bleeding...is this true?
Answer:
Excessive amounts over a long period of time...yes it is possible. But, for inflammation such as your teeth, taking 800 MG 2 x a day (every 8 to 10 hours) is ok...but for a week at most.you can also take 400 MG of Advil at the same times for the pain. If you still have issues.see your Dr.!
with a dr permission i was taking 800 4 times a day. if you are in that much pain i would find a dentist. but yes there are some concerns over ulcers and stomach bleeding.
400 mg. 2x a day shouldn't hurt you. Take it with milk or food to reduce stomach upset.
