Answer:

1:30

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to ibuprofen, the first effects from it should be felt around 15-25 minutes later. The peak effect of the drug should be felt around 90 minutes later. On the other hand, the drug is not that strong, so a person would have to take it in the system every 4th or 6th hour. The limit of ibuprofen daily intake would be 6 times a day.
