16 a day? A medical prescription here would usually target 1200 mg/day, maybe go as far as 2400 mg/day, but not a single milligram more, as that’s the maximum daily dose recommended before side effects start cropping up. You’re taking 3200 mg/day for extended periods of time? You’re poisoning yourself trying to escape pain.
When they give you ibuprofen following surgery, yea, it can be 800mg pills every 4 hours. It’s not the normal dose most people take. I didn’t say it was extended periods at that dose.
Otc, they max at 1200mg/day but it’s the same drug that by prescription the max is 3200mg/day.
