Doctor has told me to take the following
Ibuprofen 400mg 3 times a day
Paracetamol 500mg 2 tablets 3 times a day.
This is to treat a trapped nerve. Im in alot of pain
Do you think this is safe? Anyone else taken this amount?
I usually dont take anything even for headaches so im worried about side effects/overdose
Any words would be appreciated
Yeh thats safe - The maximum daily dose of ibuprofen is 600mg three times a day and paracetamol 2x 500mg four times a day. Ive taken that amount of ibuprofen myself, the advice i'd give is to eat something along with the ibuprofen as sometimes (not in everybody though) it can make your stomach a bit acidy or give you a stomach upset and just eating something even if it is small will help prevent that. x
its perfectly safe. Ibuprofen and paracetomol contain different stuff. I would take parecetomol and then ibuprofen 2 hours later and continue this way. Have something to eat before ibuprofen as it can upset stomach if its empty and dont take anything like lemsip as it contains paracetomol
Thankyou guys.
So worried about suffering a reaction of overdosing by taking both.
