Ibuprofen: Ulcer-causing?

Posted By Spurgy on December 11, 1998 at 15:21:51:







I take more than the recommended dosage of Ibuprofen once a month for menstrual cramps.  I initially take 3, 200 mg. tablets at the onset of cramps, then 2-3 about every three hours for the first 24 hrs. I have been doing this for the past 3 or 4 years, and havn't notice any side effects, but have been told that this can cause ulcers.  How much can I safely take without causing damage to my stomach or other organs?
