Just wondering what the safe daily dosage af Advil and naproxen is? Ya I know what the bottle says, but is that just lawyers writing it?

as I get older I find I’m,taking more Advil, and naproxen (not at the same time) more often.

If if I really tweak something I will take either 800mg of Advil, or 500 mg of naproxen twice a day to “knock it down”.

Other times I will take 400mg of Advil after a full day of work at the cabin as my brother in law can’t be bothered to help out. Too busy pounding back beers all day, and smokin weed.

Just don’t want to,become an Advil junkie.

P.s is there medication that will make my brother in law work at the cabin, and also bring food, and help prepare meals and do,dishes?

Thanks

I agree with what the bottle says.

It is fine to take those doses after acute injury or for intermittent discomfort. However, while these medications are not addictive, I do not recommend taking daily NSAIDs long-term for various reasons. If you feel that you “need” to take them daily in order to train, I would probably want to make changes to your programming.
