Children and infants can usually take ibuprofen every six to eight hours but should not have more than four doses in 24 hours unless directed by a doctor. If you are unsure about how much ibuprofen to give a child, consult a doctor who will determine the dosage based on the childâs weight.
Painkiller Overdose: How Much Ibuprofen Is Too Much In One Day? Dec 14, 2016 01:03 PM By Elana Glowatz @ElanaGlow Over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen could be dangerous in high doses. Sometimes when our heads hurt, or any other body part for that matter, a couple of ibuprofens donât seem like enough. Taking too much of the over-the-counter painkiller, however, could be dangerous. There are limits to what the body can tolerate. Both Motrin and Advil â two of the most popular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as NSAIDs â come with warning labels that suggest a maximum adult dose of 1,200 milligrams per day. With 200 milligram pills, that translates to one every four hours.
