Accidentally took 1200mg of ibuprofen, is that going to affect me? I weigh around 180lbs. Should I be worried about any side effects?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Taking 1200mg of ibuprofen is above the typical recommended dose (400-600mg), but for your weight, it's not likely to cause serious harm if its a one-time occurrence. However, watch for signs of stomach upset, dizziness, or any unusual symptoms. If you experience anything concerning, contact a healthcare professional right away.

View allI got hit in the ribs during a fight, and it's been really painful when I laugh, take a deep breath, or even when I cough. I originally thought it might be a broken rib, but it surprisingly doesn't hurt when I touch it or move my torso around. It's been hurting for four days without any sign of getting better; if anything, it feels like it's getting worse. Do you think this could be a serious problem? Should I consider seeing a doctor?
Orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.
