Answers:
This is what the experts say:

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Advil overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, drowsiness, black or bloody stools, coughing up blood, shallow breathing, fainting, or coma.

I'd get your friend to an emergency room, ASAP.Health Question & Answer

4 tablets is questionable unless you're in huge pain. 12 is too much.

I doubt that she'll keel over and die in two seconds, but I would get a professional. A doctor would probably have some idea of how toxic Advil is and whether or not she's in any immediate danger.

Not sure if you should induce vomiting or not. Sometimes it's crucial, sometimes it's not a good idea, and I'm not even close to a medical guy, so I can't tell you anything. If she starts feeling queasy and wants to puke, I'd let her do so, but that's just my completely uneducated opinion.

Don't panic, and good luck.Health Question & Answer

Unless she is used to taking 2400mg of advil or something that strong like codeine probably not. I usually take that a day once in a while when i get migraines. If she isn't used to it,then wait it out have her eat bread water and if she is sick make her puke it out. if that doesn't help go to the E-room.Health Question & Answer

I personally would get her to drink about 16 oz of milk in an attempt to neutralize the meds...and put her to bed. Hopefully she will not do it again...because it is a direct assault on her liver.Health Question & Answer

Yes, you are not supposed to exceed 6 pills in one day. So taking twice the amount is very very dangerous.
