Are there any foods to avoid while taking advil?



Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation. According to WebMD [2], ibuprofen should be taken with food or milk to prevent stomach upset. However, some foods can interact with ibuprofen and affect its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. Today [3] recommends avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and acidic foods such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, and vinegar while taking ibuprofen. Alcohol and caffeine can irritate the stomach lining and increase the risk of bleeding, while acidic foods can worsen stomach upset. Additionally, high-fat meals can delay the absorption of ibuprofen and reduce its effectiveness [3]. It is important to follow the advice of a healthcare provider or pharmacist regarding the use of Advil or any other medication [1].
