Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Ibuprofen is a strong non steroidal pain killer. The maximum amount of ibuprofen for adults is 800 milligrams per dose or 3200 mg per day (4 maximum doses).
A dosage more than the above can cause symptoms that may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, drowsiness, black or bloody stools, coughing up blood and this can also be dangerous to your health.
