Does advil interact with certain foods?



Advil, which contains ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. According to Drugs.com [2], there are no known food interactions with ibuprofen, and it can be taken with or without food. However, it is recommended to take ibuprofen with food or milk to avoid stomach upset.

It is important to note that ibuprofen can interact with other medications, including blood thinners, aspirin, and some antidepressants. Patients should consult their healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking Advil with other medications [3].

In addition, Advil should not be taken by individuals who have a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding, and it may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke in individuals with cardiovascular disease [1].

Overall, while Advil does not interact with specific foods, it is important to be aware of potential interactions with other medications and to consult a healthcare provider before taking Advil.
