Can advil be taken with other medications?



Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation. According to the manufacturer's website, Advil can be taken with other medications, but caution should be exercised when combining it with other drugs. The website recommends consulting a healthcare provider before taking Advil with other medications, especially if the individual is taking blood thinners, steroids, or other NSAIDs [3].

The drug interactions section of GoodRx, a prescription drug price comparison website, lists several medications that can interact with ibuprofen. For example, ibuprofen may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with blood thinners like warfarin or heparin [2]. It can also increase the risk of stomach bleeding when taken with corticosteroids like prednisone or with other NSAIDs like aspirin [2]. Additionally, ibuprofen may reduce the effectiveness of certain blood pressure medications [2].

DrugPatentWatch, a pharmaceutical intelligence database, provides information on the patents and exclusivity of various drugs, including Advil. However, it does not provide information on drug interactions [1].

In conclusion, while Advil can be taken with other medications, caution should be exercised when combining it with other drugs. It is important to consult a healthcare provider before taking Advil with other medications, especially if the individual is taking blood thinners, steroids, or other NSAIDs. Patients should also be aware of the potential drug interactions listed on websites like GoodRx.
