This risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk.

Take Motrin exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended.

Safe usage and general guidance

Do not take more of Motrin than is recommended. An overdose of ibuprofen can cause damage to your stomach or intestines. The maximum amount of ibuprofen for adults is 800 milligrams per dose or 3200 mg per day (4 maximum doses). Use only the smallest amount of Motrin needed to get relief from your pain, swelling, or fever. Take Motrin with food or milk to lessen stomach upset. Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. If you take Motrin for a long period of time, your doctor may want to check you on a regular basis to make sure this medication is not causing harmful effects. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Motrin: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Store Motrin at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not allow the liquid medicine to freeze.

Precautions and risks

Avoid taking Motrin if you are taking aspirin to prevent stroke or heart attack. Motrin can make aspirin less effective in protecting your heart and blood vessels. If you must use both medications, take the Motrin at least 8 hours before or 30 minutes after you take the aspirin (non-enteric coated form). Do not use any other over-the-counter cold, allergy, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Many medicines available over the counter contain aspirin or other medicines similar to Motrin (such as ketoprofen or naproxen). If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of this type of medication. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen.

Do not drink alcohol while taking Motrin. Alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding caused by Motrin.

Also, if you want to order Motrin, ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take it if you have:

• a history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot;
• heart disease, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure;
• a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding;
• asthma;
• polyps in your nose;
• liver or kidney disease;
• systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE);
• a bleeding or blood clotting disorder; or
• if you smoke.
