what happens if you mix advil, ibuprofen, and motrin 4 advil, 3 ibu, and 2 motrin....
ankles and hip hurt like hell, and my job requires running so i tried to tough it out by taking pain pills. advil didn't work so i found motrin, then it didnt work so my boss let me off. when i got home it still hurt so i took 3 ibuprofen.... then realized "oh sh!t..... i just mixed three different kinds of meds"
Yes very, Advil, ibuprofen and Motrin may have different names but they all contain the same active drug ibuprofen so effectively what you have done is take 9 ibu tablets. Ibuprofen is also an anti inflammatory drug which has a thinning effect on the blood. You need to be very careful when taking multiple drugs as you can safely take 2 panadol and 2 ibu as they do not contain the same active drug. The reason that there is recommended dosage amount is because the liver can not filter the drug out of your system any quicker than 2 every 4 hours, please stick to recommended dosages for any pain drug as you don't want to do any damage to your body. If you need to then take 2 panadol with 2 of the drugs you named above but no more. Next time you see your doc tell him about your ankles and hips hurting and he may have some good advice for pain management. Good luck
