And I believe the max dose is even higher - 3200mg per day (800mg 4 times per day).

Correct. Adults can take up to 800mg q6hrs and I routinely prescribe that dosing after ankle sprains, etc for a few days. 6 wks duration would be way out of my comfort zone.

I don't have the PDR handy but I thought it was 2400 mg/day-- 800mg * 3. (It's based on kg/body weight IIRC, but that was the indicated quantity.)

Yep. a good friend is a doctor who does triage in an ER (amongst other things) - he said 'We start at 1500mg doses'.
