Based on the information available, there are potential risks associated with daily use of Advil, also known as ibuprofen. This non-prescription, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is commonly used to treat pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever [1].

One of the primary risks of daily Advil use is the potential for gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. The regular use of NSAIDs can lead to stomach ulcers, bleeding, and in some cases, perforation of the stomach or intestines [1][2].

Long-term use of Advil can also increase the risk of cardiovascular issues, such as heart attack and stroke, especially in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions [1][2].

Moreover, kidney problems can arise from prolonged Advil use. The kidneys may not function properly, leading to kidney disease or kidney failure in severe cases [1][2].

It is important to note that these risks can vary depending on factors such as the dosage, duration of use, and individual health conditions [1]. Therefore, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or changing the dosage [2].

In summary, while Advil can be an effective treatment for pain and inflammation, daily use can pose potential risks, particularly to the gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system, and kidneys.
