how many advil can i take in a day

The maximum daily dose of Advil (ibuprofen) for adults is generally 3200 mg. This is typically taken as 200 mg tablets every 4 to 6 hours, with a maximum of 6 tablets (200 mg each) in 24 hours according to the Advil label. Clinically, experts often recommend not exceeding 2400 mg per day unless directed by a healthcare professional to reduce risk of side effects. For most over-the-counter use, 1 or 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed is standard, but never exceed 6 tablets in one day without medical advice. Advil should be taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach ulcers or bleeding.
