Brief Answer:
4 to 6 hourly

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

You can take it every 4 to 6 hours daily, provided you do not have any kidney problem or other systemic morbidity.

Try to use Buprenorphine patch which is also good in managing such pain. Physiotherapy also helps.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
