[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much. This can really hurt your stomach. I would take Tylenol if you have to take a painkiller this often. I ended up needing a course of the "little purple pill" (Prilosec?) because I abused NSAIDs like you are doing.[/quote] [b]Wrong wrong wrong. It's aspirin that irritates the stomach.[/b] Tylenol causes liver damage when taken too long, or in high doses. Advil is a much safer drug. I don't know what 3x a day means (need to know the dosage) but lots of doctors will recommend long-term ibuprofin use. In fact, the longer you use it, the better certain problems get. Its anti-inflammatory effect means that certain muscular problems will heal better/stronger with regular use. [/quote] And this is exactly the kind of misinformation I'm talking about (PP at 12:13). Aspirin can irritate your stomach, but ADVIL/IBUPROFEN/MOTRIN can be very damaging to your stomach - it can cause ulcers, bleeding, etc. Please, just call your doctor. [/quote] Oh my god, do call your doctor! Advil/ibuprofen/motrin (all the same) CAN and DO CAUSE ulcers, stomach irritation, bleeding, etc. If you do take it, take it with food to 'soften the blow' to the stomach. Anyway, [b]posters like 12:13 are very scary in their self righteousness and 'WRONG WRONG WRONG' information[/b]. My dad almost died from a bleeding ulcer (black tarry stools, etc) from taking too much motrin. He had a stint in an ICU for 5 days for it.[/quote] Do you mean 12:20? I am PP at 12:13 and recommended label instructions, information, physician, pharmacist![/quote]
