Hi Kelly,
Welcome to MedHelps' Pain Mangement Forum. You have asked a good question.
If I understand your post and my math is correct you are taking 600 to 1,200mg at the most a day. This is with in the guidelines of the manufacturer. The concern would be in you were taking 1,200mg for months, 5-6 times a week. Occasionally it's ok.
The best suggestion I can give you is to discuss this with your parents and PCP. If you have a need to consistently take IB that should also be addressed. Please talk to them.
Take care and best of luck to you.

I have been taking 2-4 ibprogen 200 mg. tablets for 4 months on a daily basis. Does this still fit into the manufacturer's guidelines for this product. I'm concerned about long term side effects.
