You can shut your kidneys down with Advil (or just about anything) if you take too much
Yes, at 8 or 10x the recommended dose.
Only 2x for acetaminophen.
Yeah, u/HenryTheRed is right bang on target. Worst advil will do at a low OD is probably an ulcer, while the same low OD of acetaminophen /paracetamol will fuck up your life in a serious way. It's why I try not to use it as a pain relief anymore.
Seriously, tylenol can fuck a person up with low OD ratios, and with what these tiktok challenge morons are probably doing it's more Darwin award time than "oh they'll be fine". If the idiot in question who did this didn't seek medical attention within 8 hours via a NAC injection, her risk of dying rather horribly is very high.
24g of Paracetamol is generally accepted to be a fatal dose. The lowest amount of Paracetamol to cause death was found by one study to be 10g.
10g is 20 tablets. 24g is 48 tablets.
Henry is wrong about adult liver failure doses.
These morons were eating handfuls cause "Orange man bad"
Henry is still right to be cautious and it certainly seems like anyone pregnant should never take it. Maybe they will take it off the market now, who knows, but nobody is dying from taking 4 tablets.
There is a toxicity associated to too much taken in a short interval, even by a "double dose". It's rare and often genetic/weak liver related. That teen girl I mentioned I read about did that effectively - two doses too close together basically crippled her liver.
