Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce fever. According to the Advil website [2], it is generally safe to take Advil with antibiotics, but it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional before combining medications.
The National Health Service (NHS) [3] states that ibuprofen, including Advil, can interact with some antibiotics, such as quinolones and tetracyclines. Taking ibuprofen with these antibiotics can increase the risk of side effects, such as stomach upset, nausea, and dizziness. Therefore, it is important to check with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before taking Advil with antibiotics.
Drug Patent Watch [1] provides information on the patent status of Advil and other drugs, but does not offer information on the interaction between Advil and antibiotics.
In summary, it is generally safe to take Advil with antibiotics, but it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before combining medications. Some antibiotics may interact with ibuprofen, including Advil, which can increase the risk of side effects. It is always best to check with a healthcare professional before taking any medication.
