Based on the available information, there is no specific mention of harmful interactions between Advil (ibuprofen) and antidepressants. However, it's important to note that Advil is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and can interact with certain medications, as noted in the first source [1].
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism provides a list of medications that can interact with Advil, but antidepressants are not specifically mentioned [2].
A study published in the Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences did find a potential interaction between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a type of antidepressant, and NSAIDs, which could lead to an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding [3]. However, this study does not specify that Advil interacts harmfully with all antidepressants.
Therefore, while there is some potential for interaction between Advil and antidepressants, it is not explicitly stated that such interactions are harmful. It's always important to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before combining any medications.
