How many mgs of ibuprofen csn i take in a 24 periid horribile toithache cant get to see dentist for one week ive taken 1800 mgs already since 6am toda?

2400: The maximum dose of ibuprofen is 800 mg three times a day, which equals 2400 mg. More than that can slowly cause kidney damage. You can also consider alternating tylenol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen. Remember that the maximum dose of tylenol (acetaminophen) is 3000 mg per day. Hope this helps!

1 week is too long: You'll need to clear your schedule and get in to see your dentist ASAP. All offices see patients as emergencies. You may not last a week since the pain will soon become unbearable. Please call for an immediate emergency appointment.

Dose: 3200 mg total divided into 4 800mg doses administered every 6 hours. But it won't matter. The intensity if the infection will overpower the pain killer. You have to get this very serious infection under control NOW. You need to see a Dentist, Oral Surgeon, or Endodontist immediately. Please make the time to do so.

2400 mg: The maximum prescription dose is 2400 mg/day. You can also add 3 extra strength acetominophen/day.

Ibuprofen + Tylenol (acetaminophen): Take Ibuprofen 800 milligrams every 8 hours and alternate with Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500 mg. You may alternate the two medications for moderate to severe pain by taking ibuprofen, then taking Tylenol (acetaminophen) three hours later. Keep that rotation going as needed or until you can get treatment.
