What are the side effects of daily advil use?



Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and reduce inflammation. While Advil is generally considered safe when used as directed, there are potential side effects associated with daily use.

One potential side effect of daily Advil use is gastrointestinal problems, such as stomach pain, nausea, and indigestion. This is because NSAIDs can irritate the lining of the stomach and increase the risk of ulcers and bleeding [2]. Long-term use of Advil can also increase the risk of kidney damage and high blood pressure [3].

In addition, Advil can interact with other medications and increase the risk of side effects. For example, taking Advil with blood thinners can increase the risk of bleeding [2]. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking Advil if you are taking other medications.

Another potential side effect of Advil use is an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. This risk is higher in people who have a history of heart disease or stroke, and in people who take high doses of Advil for long periods of time [3].

It is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of use for Advil, and to talk to a healthcare provider before using Advil on a daily basis. If you experience any side effects while taking Advil, you should stop taking it and talk to a healthcare provider.
