Is there a recommended advil dosage for blood thinners?



There doesn't seem to be a universally recommended Advil (ibuprofen) dosage specifically for individuals taking blood thinners, as it can depend on various factors such as the specific blood thinner being used, the individual's health status, and the reason for taking the blood thinner. However, it's crucial to note that both Advil and blood thinners can increase the risk of bleeding [1].

The National Library of Medicine advises that individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using Advil if they are taking blood thinners or have bleeding issues [2]. This advice is echoed by DrugPatentWatch.com, which also emphasizes the importance of consulting with a healthcare provider before combining Advil with blood thinners [3].

In general, the recommended dosage for Advil for adults is 200-400 mg every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 1200 mg in 24 hours [2]. However, these are general guidelines and may not apply to individuals taking blood thinners.

In conclusion, while there isn't a specific recommended Advil dosage for individuals taking blood thinners, it's crucial to consult a healthcare provider before combining the two.
