Well 6 x 60 = 360 mg total, even with 2 x 180 timespan that would make 720 mg total.
3 x 60 + 2 x 180 is 540 mg.
I am on 6 x 90 mg = 540 mg, and that is not enough, probably going to have to increase to 6 x 120 = 720 mg total.
In actual fact the total per day is not really so important, because of the short half life of this medicine. What is more important is to have the needed level at regular intervals. Every 4 hours is the most common, but that can be as often as every 3 hours, or as long as every 6 hours.
