Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Advil, has been linked to liver damage in rare cases [1]. However, it's important to note that the likelihood of developing liver problems due to ibuprofen is low, and most people can use this medication safely.

That being said, certain individuals may be at a higher risk for Advil-related liver damage. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, people with the following conditions or characteristics may be more susceptible:

1. Existing liver disease or liver dysfunction
2. Kidney disease
3. Dehydration
4. Taking ibuprofen at high doses or for long periods
5. Consuming alcohol while taking ibuprofen [2]

Additionally, DrugPatentWatch.com states that "individuals who take ibuprofen at higher than recommended doses or for extended periods may be at an increased risk of liver damage" [3].

In summary, while the risk is low for most people, certain individuals with preexisting conditions or who take ibuprofen improperly may be more susceptible to liver damage. If you have concerns about your personal risk, consult a healthcare professional before using Advil or other ibuprofen-containing products.
