Any side effects from taking advil and antibiotics?



Advil, also known as ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce fever [1]. Antibiotics are a class of drugs used to treat bacterial infections [2]. According to sources [2] and [3], there are no known interactions between Advil and antibiotics. However, it is essential to follow the advice of a healthcare professional when taking these medications together, as some antibiotics may cause stomach irritation or bleeding when taken with NSAIDs [2]. Additionally, taking Advil with certain antibiotics may increase the risk of kidney damage [3]. It is also important to note that taking Advil or any other NSAID regularly for an extended period may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke [1]. As with any medication, it is crucial to follow the recommended dosage and to consult with a healthcare professional before taking Advil or antibiotics [2].
