How Many 600Mg Ibuprofen Tablets Can I Take In A Day?

[sandyRoe]

I've sprained my ankle during another long distance walk and don't want to be stopping if I can avoid it.

[Jackdaw33]

I would say no more than three but I'm sure Sqad, the expert, will tell you.

[murraymints]

oh dear Sandy..maybe you should rest up a day or two ?? 600 mg is very heavy dose..not many..what does it say on the bumph ?

[Jackdaw33]

I suspect Sandy may be abroad as the maximum dosage in the UK is 400 mg. If so, he may well not understand the instructions.

I am with Minty here....600mg is an awful lot ....have a rest for a day or so.

[murraymints]

he is walking in Spain..but instructions are usually multilingual?

[murraymints]

if I see Sqad I will direct him here

[Sqad]

I agree with Jackdaw,3 *600mg tabs per day but if pushed, then 4 for a short period, say 3 or 4 days

Since Dr Sqad lives in that part of the world (sort-of) maybe he would do a 'home' visit!

Take care Sandy - take it easy for a day. I heard that alcohol is good for injuries such as this. Don't take too much with the Ibuprofen. x

[murraymints]

hellooooo Sqad..you snuck up on me xx

[sandyRoe]

Thank you all for your answers. I'll take no more than 3 a day.
I'm halfway along the Camino Norte along the northern coast of Spain.

[murraymints]

no chance of a days rest Sandy ?

[Old_Geezer]

I don't know; are we taking bets ? I reckon you could down a few hundred at least. Thousands if you pace yourself.

Pain from injury is meant to tell you that you shouldn't keep doing what you are doing. You will delay healing and make things worse if you don't rest.

Take care Sandy, and plenty of rest, otherwise your ankle won't allow you to reach Santiago, especially with the nature of the terrain along the Northern Route.
