What's the minimum break time between advil doses?

For Advil (ibuprofen), the usual guidance is:

• Minimum time between doses: at least 4 to 6 hours
• Typical adult dosing (OTC): 200–400 mg every 4–6 hours as needed
• Max without a doctor: usually 1,200 mg in 24 hours (some labels allow up to 2,400 mg under medical direction)

Don’t take more frequently than directed on your bottle, and avoid doubling with other products that also contain ibuprofen (or naproxen/other NSAIDs).

If you tell me the strength on your bottle (e.g., 200 mg) and your age, I can help you calculate a safe schedule.
