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.
You can safely take about 1600 mg of ibuprofen a day. That is, 4 tablets of 400 mg ibuprofen a day. For more relief, try this combination: Switch between taking 400 milligrams of ibuprofen (e.g., 2 tablets of Advil), and 1000 milligrams of acetaminophen (e.g., 2 tablets of extra-strength Tylenol) every 8 hours.esolved Question: how much ibuprofen can i take for tooth ache. i got a temporary crown, and. it hurts really bad. now i need a root canal. scheduled for two weeks from now. ibuprofen takes care of the pain but i am taking alot of it. thank you.
