You can take 800 mg of ibuprofen up to 4 times a day, typically every 6 hours, but not exceeding a total of 3200 mg in 24 hours. This dosage is prescription- strength and should be used under medical supervision. It is important not to exceed 800 mg per dose to avoid potential side effects
. To summarize:
- Maximum single dose: 800 mg
- Maximum daily dose: 3200 mg (four doses of 800 mg)
- Frequency: every 6 hours (4 times a day)
- Use under doctor supervision, especially for long-term use or chronic conditions
Taking ibuprofen at this strength and frequency without medical guidance can increase risks such as stomach ulcers, kidney damage, and bleeding
. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.
