Brief Answer:
up to 100mg per day in divided doses

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you haven't mentioned how many mg each tablet has. The maximum daily dosage for meclizine is 100mg in divided doses. If - for example - you've got 25mg pills, you can take 4 of them each day that is one every 6 hours.

Taking more than the maximum dosage would put you into risk for side effects without worthwhile benefit.

Kind Regards!

Good news for me! They are only 12.5 mg tabs, so I can take up to twice as many as I have been.

Thank you.
