Taking Advil with blood thinners can increase the risk of bleeding. Advil is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can interfere with the blood-thinning effects of anticoagulants. Blood thinners such as warfarin, heparin, and aspirin are used to prevent blood clots. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking Advil or any other NSAID while taking blood thinners.

According to Drug Patent Watch [1], Advil contains ibuprofen, which is an NSAID that works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, a substance that causes inflammation, pain, and fever. Advil is used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation caused by various conditions such as headache, toothache, menstrual cramps, arthritis, and minor injuries.

However, taking Advil with blood thinners can increase the risk of bleeding, as stated by Harvard Health Publishing [2]. NSAIDs can interfere with the blood-thinning effects of anticoagulants, which can increase the risk of bleeding. Bleeding can occur internally or externally and can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking Advil or any other NSAID while taking blood thinners.

GoodRx [3] also advises against taking Advil or any other NSAID while taking blood thinners. They recommend talking to a healthcare provider before taking any over-the-counter drugs while on blood thinners. They suggest using acetaminophen (Tylenol) instead of NSAIDs for pain relief while on blood thinners.

In conclusion, taking Advil with blood thinners can increase the risk of bleeding. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking Advil or any other NSAID while taking blood thinners. Acetaminophen may be a safer alternative for pain relief while on blood thinners.
