For mild to moderate pain or fever, the typical adult dose is 200-400 milligrams (mg) every 4 to 6 hours.
Do not exceed a total daily dose of 1200 mg unless directed by a doctor. Always follow the instructions on the label.
For stronger pain relief, your doctor might recommend a higher dose, but this should always be under their supervision. They’ll tailor the dosage to your specific needs and health condition.
Remember to drink plenty of water while taking ibuprofen to help your kidneys process it.
If you experience any side effects, like stomach upset or rash, stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately.
