Effects of taking 1800mg of ibuprofen at once?

Question

I took one and I waited about 15 to 30 min and then I took two more. Each pill is 600mg. Altogether it is 1800mg in 30 minutes time. Could something happen? If not, could something happen if I took another 600mg pill? And what happens if one takes more than 2400mg in a whole day. Let's say 3000mg? Or even 3600mg? Reason for taking ibuprofen is toothache being like hell or worse if any!

Answer 1

First off, always follow the recommended dosage on the bottle.

Secondly, taking more than recommended could result in damage to your liver. If people take too many ibuprofen, they are rushed to the ER to have their stomach pumped before any significant damage occurs.
