Question

How long does it take for symptoms of an ibuprofen overdose take?

Answer 1

In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.

Symptoms of overdosage may include:

dizziness

fast eye movements that you cannot control

slow breathing or short periods of time without breathing

blue color around the lips, mouth, and nose

*The length of time for symptoms to occur varies. It depends on metabolism and each persons individual filtering system. I will tell you that when I worked in the ER I had a physician tell me that Once symptoms of Ibuprofen overdose present that it is difficult to reverse. He told me that Many times patients are released from the  hospital and then 3 days later are in total kidney failure and the effects are irreverseable.
