Advil, also known as ibuprofen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce fever. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], there are no known interactions between Advil and other medications that may be taken daily. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any new medications or changing your current medication regimen.
GoodRx [2] provides a list of medications that may interact with ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Advil. These include but are not limited to:
- Blood thinners such as warfarin and heparin
- Corticosteroids such as prednisone
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine and sertraline
- Lithium
- Methotrexate
These interactions may increase the risk of bleeding, stomach ulcers, and kidney damage. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and vitamins you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
WebMD [3] also notes that Advil should not be taken with other NSAIDs such as aspirin, naproxen, and celecoxib as it may increase the risk of side effects such as stomach bleeding and kidney problems.
In conclusion, while there are no known interactions between Advil and other medications taken daily, it is important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and vitamins you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Additionally, ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Advil, may interact with certain medications such as blood thinners, corticosteroids, SSRIs, lithium, and methotrexate, and should not be taken with other NSAIDs.
