Accidentally took 1200mg of ibuprofen, is that going to affect me? I weigh around 180lbs. Should I be worried about any side effects?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Taking 1200mg of ibuprofen is above the typical recommended dose (400-600mg), but for your weight, it's not likely to cause serious harm if its a one-time occurrence. However, watch for signs of stomach upset, dizziness, or any unusual symptoms. If you experience anything concerning, contact a healthcare professional right away.

View allI accidentally cut my finger on a sharp, rusty piece of iron today. I got a tetanus shot about two years ago, so I'm wondering if I need another one now. The bleeding was minimal and has stopped, but should I be worried about it?
Since you received a tetanus shot 2 years ago, you're likely still protected, but to be safe, consider consulting a doctor, as they may recommend a booster shot if the wound is deep, dirty, or shows signs of infection, and in your case, since the object was rusted, it's essential to monitor the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain.
