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.
The dose of ibuprofen can range from 200 mg every 4 to 6 hours up to 800 mg every 6 hours. The maximum daily dose anyone should ever take is 800 mg every 6 hours or a total of 3200 mg per day. However, anything over the recommended over-the-counter dose of 200 mg should only be taken on the advise of your doctor.otrin and Advil can be purchased over-the-counter in 200 milligram (mg) tablets, while higher doses require a prescription. Available in tablets and capsules, ibuprofen is also found in combination with other drugs sold over the counter for cough, cold, and migraine.
