Advil addiction?
Answer:
You can take more than 4 advil a day. In the long term though she can damage her kidneys. She should see her doctor who could prescribe another drug so that she wouldn't have to take so many advil.
all medicines are bad for your body and mostly for her liver and make sure that if it's possible ASAP found a home remedy or a Natural Tea which been use since 1000yrs old and are effective and there is not addiction but is making a damage that would be to late to correct if they don't do something NOW
You can not become addicted to advil, there are no narcotic drugs in it. Depending on if she is taking regular or extra-strenght advil, she could be overdosing, but she could just be taking the highest reccomended amount. The damage to a body by overdosing on ibprofen would be to the liver.
gastrointestinal bleeding is a side effect of excessive ibuprofen use.
I used to be an INSANE pill popper...I'd take all sorts of pills (advil, tylenol, tylenol PM, ibuprofen, etc..) and I'd have to take 10+ to just get a buzz. But then I realized how much harm I'd do to myself, and I just stopped buying them. Surprisingly, it wasn't a hard habit to break! I now have been pill-free since March. I probably did all the damage I could, but I'm trying to cleanse myself with some detox stuff still..so I might get better.
Tell your friend about my story, and maybe she'll get encouraged to stop!! I really hope I helped, being addicted to pills is almost just as bad as cigarettes...
And as for the disease she has, I don't really know what that is...
people who have migrains take alot of over the counter pain releivers if they go with out knowlege of a doctor. i was one of those people. i was taking 8-10 IB Prophen up to three times a day because they stopped working. granted i worked up to this amount over about six years. and finally decided that i didn't want to take that many pills any more, i had heart burn all the time from the medicine burning in my stomach. so i went about three months with a massive headache every day soothing it with ice packs and laying down in dark rooms, then i took just two ib prophen and it worked. went to the doctor and got on a good meication. so she could be killing her stomach lining, her kidneys, all kinds of things. she needs to stop taking so much and have a doctor figure out what the problem is.
I used to be the same way, every day i needed advil or something just to feel better. Its a hard habbit to break, but you have to show her the damage she could be doing to her body.
Good luck!
