4, separated by taking only two at a time a minimum of 6 hours apart, because you shouldn't exceed 1,000mgs per dose and no more than 4,000mgs per day, to avoid toxicity.

However, if your doctor has told you to take a lesser amount, then please follow their instructions or make sure it is safe for you to take this much, since everyone is different and these are just general safety guidelines.
