It wouldn't kill you, but it will be hard on your liver. I'd say all it would do is probably just feel like you took 800mg because after a point too much ibuprofin doesn't really do anything but hurt your liver. If 800mg isn't working for you, try something like Tylenol or talk to your doctor because you really shouldn't be taking too many OTC, or any painkillers for that matter. If you wanted to know if you'll be able to get high off of ibuprofin, the answer is no, that's why it's available at the store, the prescription strength is exactly the same as taking 3 over the counter ones, it's just more convenient.
ibuprofen is not usually recommended in doses above 800mg at a time, up to 4x daily. This is because of its blood-thinning properties, and the fact that it can cause stomach upset due to acid production.
If you choose to take 1600mg of ibuprofen at one time, be sure to drink a full glass of water - 16oz might be better - and do not take another dose for at least 6 hours. This is especially important if you are taking other medications that are metabolized in the liver.
Consult your doctor to find alternatives if you think that ibuprofen is not working well for you. Another option may be Anaprox (naproxen sodium, also known as Aleve), which requires a smaller dose, and may be more effective for Arthritis and joint pain.
Ibuprofin is thought to counteract the anti-clotting effect of aspirin. Studies have found that heart patients taking daily low dosage aspirin, but also taking ibuprofin for chronic pain, do not get the benefits of the aspirin regime.

It is not advized
can you take ibuprofen and stemetil together
i don't see why not but if ibuprofen is in a tablet i wouldn't break it you can take both at the same time
yes
no a child shouldn't take ibuprofen any way they should take Motrin
No. Both of these drugs are NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and should not be combined. If Ibuprofen is not sufficient, take it alongside paracetamol or a codeine based painkiller.
This a question you need to ask the doctor or a pharmacist. Do not just guess. You may be wrong.
yes, its okay, i have been prescribed skelaxin plus ibuprofen at the same time, skelaxin is a muscle relaxer and ibuprofen is a anti-inflammatory plus non-narcotic pain reliever. I had to side effects from combining the two.
800mg
the painkilling ingredient in Fioricet is acetaminophen; Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug that reduces hormones within the body that cause inflammation and pain. Ibuprofen does not interact negatively with the painkiller in Fioricet. Therefore; it is safe to take ibuprofen and Fioricet at the same time as long as you stay within the recommended dosage for each.
Yes. Apparently there is no interaction between Ambien (zolpidem) and Motrin(ibuprofen). Can I take Motrin and Ambien at the same time? Yes, but please don't take the Ambien (zolpidem) any time other than at bedtime. Take the Motrin (ibuprofen) with food or milk. Take both of these only as needed. The Ambien is only approved for short term use. Avoid alcohol with this product. reference:http://www.bjchelpforyourhealth.org/hfyh_content.aspx?id=5486
Yes you may take ibuprofen while on antibiotics, but you must be aware of any problems within your GI tract, as Ibuprofen may cause GI bleeds in those who are susceptible. It is always advised to take Ibuprofen with food, so if you must take your antibiotics on an empty stomach, plan to take your Ibuprofen at a different time. Always follow the directions on the bottles of your medications.
