Which pain medications can advil be taken with?



Advil is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation. According to the sources provided, Advil can be taken with some pain medications, but caution should be exercised.

One medication that can be taken with Advil is hydrocodone. Hydrocodone and ibuprofen are often prescribed together to manage moderate to severe pain [2]. Hydrocodone is an opioid pain medication, while ibuprofen is an NSAID. The combination of the two can provide more effective pain relief than either medication alone.

However, caution should be taken when combining Advil with other NSAIDs, such as Motrin (ibuprofen) or Aleve (naproxen). Combining these medications can increase the risk of side effects, such as stomach bleeding or kidney damage [3].

It is generally safe to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) with Advil, as they work differently to relieve pain. Acetaminophen is not an NSAID and does not have the same risk of stomach bleeding or kidney damage. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosages for each medication and to talk to a healthcare provider before combining them [3].

In conclusion, Advil can be taken with hydrocodone and acetaminophen, but caution should be taken when combining it with other NSAIDs. It is always important to talk to a healthcare provider before combining medications to ensure safety and effectiveness.
