How much ibuprofen can i take?

Answer 1

While the typical dose is two 200mg tablets (400mg), doctors will often recommend up to four 200mg tablets (800mg) in times of severe muscular cramping or pain.

If you do take 800mg of ibuprofen, be sure not to exceed a dosage of 1600mg in any 24-hour period, and it would be unwise to continue taking Ibuprofen at this level for more than 3-5 days.

Answer 2

Lots of it.

According to Wikipedia, you can have at once up to 100 mg/kg in your body without toxic effects. That's about 40 tablets of 200 mg if you're 160 pounds. Of course, that varies also with age, healthy, and individual sensitivity, so better not to try those 40.

That's for a single big event. If you take it regularly, probably there is some reason for the indication to be taking a 400 mg (or 800 mg?) tablet every 6h.
