Advil and high blood pressure?



Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation [1]. According to GoodRx, ibuprofen may raise blood pressure in some people, especially those with uncontrolled high blood pressure or heart disease [2]. This is because ibuprofen can cause the body to retain fluid and decrease the effectiveness of blood pressure medications [3]. Therefore, people with high blood pressure or heart disease should talk to their doctor before taking Advil or any other NSAID [2]. WebMD also recommends that people with high blood pressure should avoid NSAIDs if possible and use other pain relievers, such as acetaminophen [3]. It is important to note that not everyone who takes Advil will experience an increase in blood pressure, and the risk may vary depending on the individual's medical history and other medications they are taking [2]. In any case, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any medication, including Advil, especially if you have high blood pressure or other medical conditions [3].
