Answer #1

Nothing, I use to take 4 for my headaches and even that didn’t work for me.

Answer #2

Not much, 3 should be fine :) try and stick to the normal does when you can though as the reason for restrictions is as certain pills can harm certain parts of your body (e.g. your liver) if you have a lot of them regularly.

I exceed the recommended dose of painkillers and things more than that sometimes and have never had any negative effects :)

Answer #3

I used to take Advil all the time for headaches - and it worked. The problem was that I used to take 3 or 4 of them at a time so that it would work better, and that worked, until it messed up my stomach big time. Once or twice taking extra will not harm you, but more than that can be problematic. Take care, and Good Luck!!

Answer #4

You might get an upset stomach if you’re sensitive…otherwise, you’re going to be just fine.
