who are breathing normally can be given a strong
laxative fluid; severe poisonings require IV chelation
therapy. For NSAID poisoning, sometimes activated
charcoal is given (usually within 1 hour of ingestion);
massive overdoses may require orogastric lavage
because there is no specific antidote for ibuprofen.
