ibuprofen is generally well tolerated and the maximum allowed dose of ibuprofen is 3200 mg in a single day ( 800mg qid) and this dose is rarely needed ( only in cases of inflammation)
for pain relief it is documented that the max effect ( that is relief of pain ) is attained at a dose of 400 mg , which means that taking 600 mg for example will not give you an increased pain relief.
for more details about ibuprofen and any other health issues, I suggest exploring the Health Information Center :

where you can get professional advice and information from top trusted health organizations.

Read the instructions on the bottle of ibuprofen. It gives the amount for adults and children according to the particular strength of the pills

What ever the bottle says, BUT know that long term use of NSAIDs results in tissue thinning and internal bleeding. Use it temporarily but not long term.
