It might well upset your stomach. When I had endometriosis I used to take them in that kind of quantity - I knew I'd end up with a stomach upset but that was less bad than the pain from the endo. Too many NSAIDs irritate the stomach lining and can do lasting damage in the long run, so if you are finding yourself taking too many on a regular basis, you need to push your doctor for treatment of whatever the underlying cause of the pain is.

If you took 4 first, and the other 4 after six hours you’ll be fine.
