Please, I need certain information about medicament called Ibuprofen. I have strong headaches for days and I started to use ibuprofen pills of 800mg 3 times per day. It helps me but I started to worry a lot because I didn't sure how much ibuprofen can be taken safely. Does anybody know? Thanks!

Hi! You don't need to worry! A maximum daily dose of ibuprofen is 3200 mg, but a lot of ibuprofen may give you stomach problems. The most common dose for adults is 200 –400 mg every 4–6 hours. Ibuprofen has a dose-dependent duration of action of approximately 4–8 hours. I read this in my book about drugs. I hope that I helped you.

My docs gave me a prescription for 600mg tabs that I could take 2 up to 4x per day. They freaked out when they learned I had followed their stupid script for almost a year.
NOW THAT BEING SAID...It is indeed addictive...not a narcotic, but physically addictive. The body builds and addiction...dependence...to it. If a body is addicted to Ibuprofen, it often begins to have headaches or migraines (or make them worse)...which once the patient takes the pill will then subside...but sadly in ever decreasing lengths of time. My body was addicted to it when I saw a documentary on it in Switzerland. I stopped taking it immediately... and very rarely ever take it any more. It also in large or long time use can cause irreparable damage to the liver.
Better to not use this as a headache remedy. Perhaps you should find out if you have migraines. If they are there is medicine that is MUCH better out there. Also if you have cluster headaches. But you want to go to the doc because a headache is a symptom. When I went to my doc they did a scan to be sure I did not have a tumour in my brain.

Try keeping your cell phone far as possible from you. It cured my headache I've been having for years.
I told a lot of family & friends who said it helped a lot. Good luck. I hope it gets you off medications.
