The highest dose without prescription is 400 mg at the same time, for a maximum of 3 doses per day (every 6-8 hours). However, with a prescription, the dosage might be increased to 600 mg.
There is no benefit in going over 600 mg, and it will increase side effects. The prescriber should choose stronger NSAID (celebrex, naproxen, voltaren, etc..)
I have taken prescription ibuprofen (800mg) for chronic pain. It gave me a pretty bad ulcer. A dose that size should only be used under the guidance of your doctor.

How many ibuprofen can you have for severe back pain?
If they are 200mg tablets you can take four, ONCE. Do not do it again, more than that is toxic. If your pain is that severe I suggest seeing a doctor for something stronger. You can actually take as much as six, 200mg. tablets in any 24 hour period, but don't take for more than 10 days straight...you should really try to see a doctor, however, because kidney problems can often disguise themselves as back pain.
