my friend took 10 ibuprofens, she weighs like, maybe 100 pounds

does she need to go to the hospital for this???

Depends on how much she weighs. I took 20 about 2 weeks ago, and I never even got a stomach ache, but I'm big.

If she did this just once, and she does not have any adverse effect until now, then just let her sleep it off. The maximum dosage that the body can tolerate for a day is 1200 mg which is roughly 6 ibuprofen tablets. BUT if she is vomiting, unconscious, having convulsions, or cannot breathe, then bring her immediately to the doctor.
