Can you explain if it's safe to take more ibuprofen then what it says on the bottle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not safe: The maximum amount of ibuprofen for adults is 800 milligrams per dose or 3200 mg per day. An overdose of ibuprofen can cause damage to your stomach or other parts of the CI. Always Use only the smallest amount of medication needed.
