I got allergies late in life.

I thought “Benadryl — like ibuprofen, right? Two to just get started…”

Took two. Nose still dripping like a faucet. Took two more. Then went for a motorcycle ride.

An hour into the ride: “I should just lie down in the middle of the road and take a nap…”

It’s pretty clearly marked, “DO NOT DRIVE OR OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY” but glad you didn’t kill yourself or someone else 👍

  No it isn’t. It’s the seventh of eight bullet points, and it says “use caution when operating a vehicle.”

  Maybe the motorcycle was light?

It also not safe to take 4 Ibuprofen. The max recommended dose is something like 600mg per 12 hours for an adult. I learned last week you need prescription for Ibuprofen in Germany.

  It isn’t safe everything has risks that come with it but recommended daily maximums in the USA I was last aware of are 600mg every 6 hours or 800mg every 8 hours, aka 2,400mg / 24 hours. In the past doses approaching that often included taking famotidine (pepcid AC) in an effort to reduce the ulcer risk that comes from it. There are also possible long term heart implications as other risks. Also never mix NSAIDs, non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (don’t take ibuprofen with naproxen, diclofenac, etc). 800mg of ibuprofen is very unlikely to kill you taken one time during an acute event assuming you aren’t allergic to it or have taken something else that interacts with it. 800mg of ibuprofen taken regularly is likely to shorten your lifespan.

  i guess you need a prescription for higher dosage ibus, but 400mg ones are freely available.

  No, you don’t. I just bought some no questions asked at a pharmacy

    The pharmacist told me you need prescription for the 600mg ones. Maybe last strong pills are without prescription.
