Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation [1]. Antibiotics are a class of drugs used to treat bacterial infections [2]. According to the Advil website, it is safe to take Advil with antibiotics, as there are no known interactions between the two medications [2]. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of use for both medications to avoid any potential adverse effects.

Long-term use of Advil can lead to side effects such as stomach ulcers, bleeding, and kidney damage [2]. Therefore, it is important to use Advil only as directed and not for extended periods of time without consulting a healthcare professional. Additionally, some antibiotics can also cause side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, and allergic reactions [2]. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of use for antibiotics to avoid any potential adverse effects.

Diclofenac is another NSAID similar to Advil. According to the National Health Service (NHS), long-term use of diclofenac can also lead to side effects such as stomach ulcers, bleeding, and kidney damage [3]. Like Advil, it is important to use diclofenac only as directed and not for extended periods of time without consulting a healthcare professional.

In conclusion, it is generally safe to take Advil with antibiotics as there are no known interactions between the two medications. However, long-term use of Advil or diclofenac can lead to side effects such as stomach ulcers, bleeding, and kidney damage. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of use for both medications and to consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or questions.
