The FDA recently required manufacturers to revise the labeling of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen (brand name Motrin), to reflect a higher risk of serious complications when they are not used according to directions. Overdosage can lead to very severe consequences, including ulcers and internal bleeding. The approved dosage is for UP TO 800 mg at a time, not to exceed 3,200 mg in 24 hours. So no, it is not safe for you to take (2) 800 mg pills at once on your own decision. You should consult with a doctor or pharmacist any time you have a question about changing your dosage of a drug.

nope, i had that. it stretches the ligaments and tendons when you're growing. but, i grew up to be 6'0 tall and i studied martial arts for several years. it never affected anything.

Smoking, coffee, poor diet and lack of exercise are the big ones. Any of those can cancel growth spurts. Genetics isn't a big help, either.

Two months ago, I had given this answer to your Q.\nWhat were the points you didn't like or you didn't understand?\nWhat are your criteria for a "good" answer?\nI am posting again the answer (copy and paste) and I am waiting for your feedback. Why do you refer especially to the GNC company?\nAre you aware of some studies that they did using aminoacids that could potentially influence growth?\nWere they OTC supplements?\nPlease, let us know and in the mean while have another look to my posting.\nRegards\n\n\nHuman growth hormone is administered in the cure of diseases and not in order to make people taller !\nEvenmore, it is a prescription only medicine acting in a small gland situated in our brain. I think they are used also for the dopping. \nTell me now : would you ever trust to give your child such a medicine that could potentially interact with the surrounding field?\nThen you are talking also about OTC products ; they are food supplements I suppose. I don't know what this kind of products are, but I have to say that I had a bad experience from food supplements sold via networking marketing, last spring.\nSometimes they are not so innocent as they look like; they can cause allergies.\nWhy don't you think to adopt a healthier lifestyle? This will help more effectively in your child's case. And it is also more natural, it has no adverse effects, as medicines do .\nI want to add just this : control obesity! Obese children don't get tall and there is also the scientific explanation for this.\nI think that the answer given previously, be happy with yourself, with what you are was wisdom.\n\n\nI have to add that:\n\n1st: It is not just growth hormone that controls growth; there are also other hormones, like TSH(thyroid stimulating hormone), ACTH(adrenocorticotropic hormone), LH(luteinizing hormone) and FSH(follicle stimulating hormone).\nThe small gland situated in our brain, is called pituitary gland.\n\n2nd: You are talking about injections: they are administered just if a GH deficiency is diagnosed; this involves hospitalizing the child because GH is produced in bursts. This means that we can't have a result from a single measurement of this hormone in a blood sample. We need the result of the measurements of a 24 hour period.\nFrom what you say, your child has not been diagnosed from that.\n\nYour child can find more information , articles suitable for the public and educate himself on the GH issue from the site of the Foundation for human growth. It is a patients organisation.\nhttp://www.hgfound.org/growth.html\nEducating himself, he will understand that he really doesn't need any injections of growth hormone in order to get taller and - hopefully - he will adopt a healthier lifestyle in order to grow well.\nOr - if he prefers - he can navigate in the site of wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/growth_hormone\nTake care on scams! A big research project has started this year in the US that will elucidate some obscure points in the area of food supplements that are on sale for this purpose. \n\nKaterina

ibuprofen and acetaminophen respectively

All of these can cause tendonitis as it is caused by over worked or stressed tendons that cause the tendons to become inflamed (the suffix "itis" means inflammation). Resting when it flares up and ibuprofen products {ibuprofen helps reduce inflammation while Tylenol does not} should help but if it is very painful tell your doc as you may need something more. Every time you move the muscles in the area that hurts will aggravate it so you may want to limit your activity until it feels a bit better, then exercise it slowly working up to full activity as this will make it stronger and lessen the chance of it happening again. Good Luck.

Sounds like the combo of the Glucosamine and Chondroitin aren't as effective for you...switch back to the Glucosamine Sulfate (there may be something in this particular supplement that agrees with your body and can utilize the drug more efficiently) Was there any particular reason why you switched? Did you NEED the Chondroitin as well? Also...taking a mild anti inflammatory (IB or Naproxin) can help with that. I wish you the best of luck!

Absolutely. NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are very dangerous. Ibuprofen, in fact, can increase your risk of heart attack (http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=635702005), or more commonly, cause internal bleeding.  The best thing you can do is to figure out what's causing the pain, and then eliminate the cause.

good stretching, some ibuprofen, hot pads and/or ice.....GNC also sells a pill called TRIFLEX, it contains glucosamine and chondroiton, which are said to help "lubricate" joints.....my knees are pretty bad also, I find that it helps out enough to where i keep buying it.

i had this in my left breast and doc said it was the muscle and gave me ibuprofen and it worked straight away but it has come back a few times but the ibuprofen works every time so he thinks its a tear in my muscle

No, it doesn't do anything to muscle growth.  Your body builds muscle on proteins.  What happens is when you work out, you tear your muscles (in a good way).  Your body then builds the muscle back up stronger using proteins.  thats why it is important to have protein when you work out.  The only way to lose muscle  is when your body start depleting it (getting sick, not working out ) etc.  There is no outside force that will deplete muscles.

Plain ole Advil doesn't not contain any aspirin... even in small amounts. \n\nHOWEVER: Ibuprofen does react with your body in a lot of similar ways to many salicylates, including acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). That's why, if you have a reaction to Aspirin, you should watch yourself with Ibuprofen, too.

Skeletal muscle mass is regulated by hormones and cytokines.\nAnabolic hormones,GH/IGF-1 and testosterone cause Hypertrophy, on the other hand, Catabolic hormones such as Glucocorticoid and TNF-α  reduces skeletal muscle mass.\n\nPhysical stimulation induces the expression of these hypertrophic hormones(especially IGF-1), whereas reduces adipose tissue mass which produces catabolic cytokine.\n\nIf you want increase your muscle mass, Exercise is the best way.

vitamin E {Tocopherol} this vitamin promote growth that is to say it has direct or indirect effect on the muscle.\nvegetables, fat of animals are good source.

The answer to this is that yes it can probably happen.  You should probably stop reading right here and see a doctor, but since you probably want to know more before visting a doctor I have given an explanation of this phenomenon.\n\nIbuprofen and other NSAIDs are cox enzyme inhibitors.  Nonselective NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen) inhibt both cox 1 and cox 2, while cox-2 specifc NSAIDs (Celebrex) inhibit only cox 2.  Cox 2 enzymes make prostaglandins, which is a class of compounds that do many things in many different places, including an involvement in the body's inflammatory repsonse mechanism.  Prostaglandins also have a function of reducing intraocular pressure in the eye.  \n\nIn one study of the cox 2 inhibitor Celebrex, intraocular pressure increased slightly, but not signifcantly enough for concern.  NSIADs seem not to display this effect, at least not as strongly generally, but medications can have rare side effects in a small group of people. \n\nI do not know how substantial this effect is, but your eyes are sensitive and very valuable organs.  You should see the doctor.
