Are there advil interactions with heart medication?



Advil, also known as ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat pain and inflammation. While it is a commonly used medication, it is important to be aware of potential interactions with other medications, particularly those used to treat heart conditions.

According to Drug Patent Watch [1], Advil has no known interactions with heart medications. However, the Cleveland Clinic [2] and Mayo Clinic [3] caution that NSAIDs like Advil can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, particularly in people with a history of heart disease or who are at high risk for heart disease. This risk is higher when NSAIDs are taken in high doses or for long periods of time.

The Cleveland Clinic advises that people with heart conditions should avoid NSAIDs if possible, or use them only under the guidance of a healthcare provider. The Mayo Clinic suggests that people with heart disease talk to their doctor about alternative pain relief options, such as acetaminophen or low-dose opioids.

In conclusion, while Advil does not have any known interactions with heart medications [1], it is important to be cautious when using NSAIDs like Advil if you have a history of heart disease or are at high risk for heart disease [2][3]. It is always best to talk to your healthcare provider about any potential risks and alternative pain relief options.
