Which prescription drugs interact with advil?



Advil is a brand name for the generic drug ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and reduce inflammation. It is important to be aware of potential drug interactions with Advil to avoid adverse effects.

According to DrugPatentWatch [1], there are over 400 drugs that have potential interactions with ibuprofen, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Some of the most common prescription drugs that interact with ibuprofen include blood thinners like warfarin, aspirin, and clopidogrel, as well as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like fluoxetine and sertraline. These drugs can increase the risk of bleeding or stomach ulcers when taken with ibuprofen.

Drugs.com [2] also provides a list of drugs that may interact with Advil, including ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and diuretics, which are commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. These drugs can reduce the effectiveness of ibuprofen and increase the risk of kidney damage when taken together. Other drugs that may interact with Advil include lithium, methotrexate, and corticosteroids.

GoodRx [3] provides a similar list of potential drug interactions with ibuprofen, including anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, and corticosteroids. It also notes that taking ibuprofen with alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding and ulcers.

It is important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Advil or any other medication to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for you. They can help you understand potential drug interactions and advise you on how to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
