The maximum dose is 4 grams per day, which would be 8 extra strength Tylenol (500 mg each) or 12 regular strength (325 mg) tablets. Donât take more than that. How much ibuprofen can I take? For the treatment of mild to moderate pain, 200 mg to 400 mg of ibuprofen will work. Generally taken every 6 to 8 hours, the maximum dose of Ibuprofen is 2400 mg per day which is 12 over-the-counter tablets.
