Over two decades of extensive research have shown that Advil, when used as directed, is a safe and effective pain reliever. Advil contains the pain reliever ibuprofen, recognized as being well tolerated by the liver. When taken as directed, ibuprofen provides fast pain relief and has a low risk of stomach upset.
Do not use Advil with other ibuprofen-containing products and always use as directed. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like aspirin or naproxen sodium, and may cause severe stomach bleeding. This risk increases if a person consumes three or more alcoholic beverages every day, is age 60 or older, is taking prescription blood thinners or steroids, has a history of stomach bleeding, ulcers, and/or has other bleeding problems, or is taking two or more products containing an NSAID. Taking more than the recommended dose or for longer than directed also increases this risk.
If you are not sure if your medication contains ibuprofen or another NSAID, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Ibuprofen may cause a severe allergic reaction, especially in people allergic to aspirin. Symptoms may include hives, facial swelling, asthma (wheezing), shock, skin reddening, rash and blisters. If an allergic reaction occurs, stop use and seek medical help right away.
Ask your doctor before using Advil if you are pregnant, have asthma, high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, pre-existing kidney disease or if you are taking a diuretic.
Any medication may cause side effects. You should not take more than the recommended dose because it will increase the risk of side effects. To maximize the benefit and reduce risk, it is important to use
over-the-counter medicines responsibly according to the label and speak with a doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Please refer to the label for complete warnings and important information.
