Depends on Weight: If you are over 175 pounds (80 Kg) you can take up to 800mg every 8 hours, 600mg every 6 hours, 400mg every 4 hours or 200 every 2 hours. That's a max dose of 2400 mg in 24 hours. If you weigh 130 pounds you can take 600 every 8 hours or 1800 mg/day and if 88 pounds take 400mg every 8 hours. Ibuprofen and other NSAIDS can be very irritating to the stomach and hard on the kidneys at max dose
