Generic Name: Ibuprofen
Advil is a popular brand of Ibuprofen, an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Advil is used to reduce fever and treat pain or inflammation caused by many conditions such as headache, toothache, back pain, arthritis, menstrual cramps, or minor injury. Advil works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Advertising often compares it to aspirin and Tylenol portraying both as "old fashioned" or "out of date" drugs.
Taking an NSAID can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use an NSAID. Do not use this medicine just before or after having heart bypass surgery (also called coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
This medicine can also increase your risk of serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and gastrointestinal effects can occur without warning at any time while you are taking Advil.
Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of Advil can cause damage to your stomach or intestines. The maximum amount of Advil for adults is 800 milligrams per dose or 3200 mg per day (4 maximum doses). Use only the smallest amount of Advil needed to get relief from your pain, swelling, or fever.
Avoid taking Advil if you are taking aspirin to prevent stroke or heart attack. Advil can make aspirin less effective in protecting your heart and blood vessels. If you must use both medications, take the Advil at least 8 hours before or 30 minutes after you take the aspirin (non-enteric coated form).
Many medicines available over the counter contain Aspirin or other medicines similar to Advil (such as Ketoprofen or Naproxen). If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of this type of medication. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen, or Naproxen.
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to Advil, Aspirin or other NSAIDs.

If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take Advil.
This medication is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby during early pregnancy. However, taking Advil during the last 3 months of pregnancy may result in birth defects.

Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Do not give this medicine to a child without the advice of a doctor.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and wait until your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Advil overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, drowsiness, black or bloody stools, coughing up blood, shallow breathing, fainting, or coma.
Do not drink alcohol while taking Advil. Alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding caused by Advil.
