Ibuprofen
Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?
I have been taking 2-4 ibprogen 200 mg. tablets for 4 months on a daily basis. Does this still fit into the manufacturer's guidelines for this product. I'm concerned about long term side effects.
Hi Kelly,
Welcome to MedHelps' Pain Mangement Forum. You have asked a good question.
If I understand your post and my math is correct you are taking 600 to 1,200mg at the most a day. This is with in the guidelines of the manufacturer. The concern would be in you were taking 1,200mg for months, 5-6 times a week. Occasionally it's ok.
The best suggestion I can give you is to discuss this with your parents and PCP. If you have a need to consistently take IB that should also be addressed. Please talk to them.
Take care and best of luck to you.
