According to google, the maximum dosage of ibuprofen is 3200mg divided into 3 or 4 equal dosages (that’s 800mg every 6 hours). For reference, that is less than the weight of a paperclip. So what makes pills so strong that it’s extrmeley dangerous for a stomach that can literally devour steel to consume more than a paperclip weight of ibuprofen every 6 hours?
And that’s only ibuprofen, i’ve taken others meds which were WAY lower at 80mg max dosage and another one 10mg!
Note: didn’t know what to put as flair since it’s technically medicine or biochem (neither are available) so i chose biology since i’m focusing on an organ

When you swallow a pill, it goes into your tummy to help you feel better. But sometimes, the stuff in the pill can be a bit tough on your tummy, especially if you take a lot or if the medicine is really strong. Even though the pill is small, the stuff inside can be powerful and might hurt your tummy if you take too much. That’s why it’s important to only take the amount of medicine your doctor says is okay. Different medicines can do different things to your tummy, so it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor or the person at the drugstore if you’re worried about how a medicine might make you feel.
