Advil is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to relieve pain and inflammation. However, it can increase the risk of bleeding for those who are taking blood thinners [2]. Blood thinners, also known as anticoagulants, are medications that help prevent blood clots. When taken together, Advil and blood thinners can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising [2]. Therefore, it is important to find alternative pain relievers for those on blood thinners.

There are several alternative pain relievers for those on blood thinners. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a commonly used pain reliever that is safe for those on blood thinners [2]. Unlike NSAIDs, acetaminophen does not increase the risk of bleeding [2]. Other alternatives include opioids, such as codeine or oxycodone, which can be prescribed by a doctor [2]. It is important to talk to a doctor before taking any new medication, especially if you are taking blood thinners.

In conclusion, there are alternative pain relievers for those on blood thinners, such as acetaminophen and opioids. It is important to talk to a doctor before taking any new medication to ensure it is safe for you to take. It is also important to avoid taking NSAIDs, such as Advil, when on blood thinners to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising. [2][3]
