How often can advil be taken per day?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for advil

The recommended frequency of taking Advil (ibuprofen) per day varies depending on the individual's medical condition, age, and other factors. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the recommended adult dose of Advil is 200-400 mg every 4-6 hours as needed. However, it is essential to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the maximum daily dose of 1200 mg.

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recommends that adults take the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to achieve symptom relief. The AAFP also advises that ibuprofen should not be taken more frequently than every 4-6 hours.

It is also important to note that Advil should not be taken with other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) or with aspirin, as this may increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.

In terms of the maximum daily dose, the FDA recommends that adults not exceed 1200 mg of ibuprofen per day. Taking more than the recommended dose may increase the risk of adverse effects, such as stomach ulcers and bleeding.

In conclusion, the recommended frequency of taking Advil per day is every 4-6 hours as needed, with a maximum daily dose of 1200 mg. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the maximum daily dose to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
