The therapeutic index for ibuprofen is considerably better: it's around 10, fairly similar to alcohol. Accidental overdoses of ibuprofen are rare.

The main issue with ibuprofen is that it can have fairly annoying (but non-life-threatening) side effects like stomach upset and GI bleeds even with normal dosing.

Would appreciate it if you could elaborate. Someone close to me takes a lot of ibuprofen.

The index for ibuprofen is waaaaay better than DayQuil
