How much Advil and Tylenol can I take for a toothache?

Hello,

The maximum dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) is 4000mg per 24 hours, or 8 tablets of 500mg or 12 tablets of 325mg. Above this dose, toxic metabolites damage the liver.

The maximum over-the-counter dose of Advil (ibuprofen) is 1200mg per day (6 x 200mg tablets or 3 x 400mg tablets). However, with a prescription, higher doses (double) are used depending on the treatment indication. Ibuprofen causes gastric risks (heartburn) and can increase blood pressure for example. Therefore, be careful with the doses used

Toothaches are often the reason why patients exceed the recommended daily doses. So, be careful and consult your dentist if there is no improvement soon. Hoping to have answered your expectations. Elise Grondin, pharmacist
