What's the maximum dosage of advil liqui gels?

For Advil Liqui-Gels (ibuprofen), the maximum depends on age and whether it’s over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription dosing.

Adults & children ≥12 years (OTC)

• Max dose: 1,200 mg per day
• Typical OTC Liqui-Gels strength is 200 mg each:
  • 2 capsules (400 mg) every 4 to 6 hours as needed
  • No more than 6 capsules (1,200 mg) in 24 hours

Prescription max (adults)

• A clinician may prescribe higher doses, commonly up to 3,200 mg/day in divided doses, but this should only be done under medical supervision.

Children <12 years

• Dosing is weight-based and the OTC “max per day” depends on the product strength—so you should share the child’s age and weight and the mg per capsule on the bottle, and I can calculate it safely.

Important safety notes (please read)

Don’t exceed the max daily dose, and avoid ibuprofen if you have (or have had) things like:

• Stomach ulcers/GI bleeding
• Severe kidney disease
• Allergy to NSAIDs
• Significant heart disease or NSAID-related issues (ask a clinician)

Also: Don’t take ibuprofen with other NSAIDs (like naproxen/Aleve or aspirin for pain) unless a clinician tells you to.

If you tell me (1) the mg per Liqui-Gel capsule on your bottle and (2) your age (and whether it’s for OTC use), I can confirm the exact maximum for your situation.
