It's only a partial answer, but a Nile crocodile can eat up to half its body weight at a sitting, according to National Geographic. Since few freshwater fish weigh half as much as a crocodile, we can probably assume these croc feasts occur when they're able to ambush ungulates (e.g. zebras and antelope).
Probably best to stick to the recommended dosing on the bottle though. For adults, that's 400-800mg four times a day (Maximum 3200mg/day US labelling or 2400mg/day Canadian labelling) Dosing for children is weight based. If your symptoms persist for more than 24 hours with ibuprofen, you should probably see your physician rather than keep taking the drug. Unless you are allergic to it, or have gastric issues such as ulcers or gastritis. Or have kidney disease, or advanced liver disease, or heart disease, or late in pregnancy.
How much can or should you take and is it bad for your liver or kidneys? Every week Iâm asked this question. How much? For the treatment of mild to moderate pain, minor fever, and acute or chronic inflammatory conditions 200 mg to 400 mg of ibuprofen will work, and is comparable to 650 mg of acetaminophen or aspirin. Generally taken every 6 to 8 hours, the maximum dose of NSAIDs per day is 2400 mg which is 12 over-the-counter tablets. Liver-safe: Ibuprofen and other NSAIDS rarely affect the liver. Unlike acetaminophen (Tylenol) most NSAIDs are absorbed completely and have negligible first-pass hepatic (liver) metabolism. In other words, the way NSAIDS are metabolized makes liver toxicity (hepatotoxicity) very rare. Estimates are that 1 in 100,000 NSAID prescriptions result in acute liver injury.
