800 mg of ibuprofen is a large amount. usually they come in about 200 mg.

it depends on if your body is tolerant to the drug. if you take high doses frequently, your body will become used to it and need more to get the same effect... this is where drug addiction comes into play so be careful

id say you could take 2 800mg pills of ibuprofen in 24 hours but im not a doctor. just from experience, my body is tolerant to pain pills. but, it also depends on your weight.

it can become toxic around 400mg per kg. one kg is about 2.2 pounds so you can do the math. just be careful

800 mg (milligrams) is the maximum dose, no more than 4 times a day (3200 per day total). The least amount needed is what should be used. As with any drugm there can be serious side effects from extended use of Ibuprofen, or before surgery, etc. Consult your doctor, or if you do not have easy access to one, look up your local "ask a nurse" number and discuss your specific situation for medical guidance.
