Can advil cause liver damage over time?



Advil, which is a brand name for ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation [1]. However, long-term use of NSAIDs, including Advil, can cause liver damage [2]. Toxic hepatitis is a condition in which the liver becomes inflamed and damaged due to exposure to toxins, including medications such as NSAIDs [2]. The risk of liver damage from NSAIDs increases with higher doses and longer duration of use [3]. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of use for Advil and other NSAIDs to minimize the risk of liver damage. Individuals with liver disease or a history of liver problems should consult with their healthcare provider before taking Advil or other NSAIDs [2].
