Advil (ibuprofen) and Pradaxa (dabigatran) are two different medications that are used for different purposes. Advil is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation. Pradaxa is an anticoagulant medication that is used to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in people with certain heart conditions.

According to Drugs.com [3], there is a moderate interaction between Advil and Pradaxa. This means that taking these two medications together may increase the risk of bleeding. It is important to talk to your doctor before taking Advil if you are already taking Pradaxa or any other anticoagulant medication.

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement [2] recommends that patients taking Pradaxa should avoid taking NSAIDs, including Advil, unless directed to do so by their doctor. Patients should also be advised to watch for signs of bleeding, such as unusual bruising or bleeding from the gums, and to seek medical attention if they experience these symptoms.

In conclusion, while Advil can be used to relieve pain and inflammation, it is important to talk to your doctor before taking it if you are already taking Pradaxa or any other anticoagulant medication. Patients taking Pradaxa should avoid taking NSAIDs, including Advil, unless directed to do so by their doctor. It is also important to watch for signs of bleeding and to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual symptoms.
