Took High Dosage Of Advil Pills For Stress. Will It Have Any Adverse Effects On Health?

Recently, due to some stress I took about a 1000 mg of advil pills. These days I was suppose to have my periods too. The next day my periods started, but very less, then the following day (today) its alot. I just want to know that would those advils pills have any negative effects on my health, or periods or inside my stomach , whatsoever?

Hi,

The usual overdosage effects of Advil are gastric irritation, difficulty in respiration, coma, seizures, leukocytosis (increase in white blood cells) and renal failure. But there is nothing related to your periods.

I personally think that the 1000mg you have taken would probably have not caused any serious complications but it is better to undergo physical consultation with your doctor as well.

Take Care!
