4 x per day: But if you need that much, there are better medications to take. (3200mg/day max).

Ibuprofen: The maximum dose of that medication is usually stated at 4000 mg in a day. This level usually results in tinnitus or ringing in the ears. However, you may experience that at lower doses. The best way to take any pain reliever is only take what is needed for pain relief. When you need more than that seek medical assistance.

Ibuprofen : 2400mg is maximum so 800mg three times a day with food.
