What Causes Vomiting And Dizziness After Having Advil?
Question: I took 40 advil. Now i feel like i am going to throw up and i am dizzy and really weak
Brief Answer:
Do you mean you took 40tablets or 400mg?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this dizziness and body weakness that you have reported. I am a bit confused whether you took 400mg of 40advil tables. If you took 40 tablets, please go to the hospital immediately as this will causes severe damage to stomach.
If you are talking of a 400mg dose, then this is a well recognized side effect of advil. As you continue taking the treatment, all will soon return to normal. For now, eat well, rest and drink enough fluids. All would soon be okay.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
