Based on the information available, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before combining Advil (ibuprofen) and aspirin [1][2]. Both medications are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and can increase the risk of side effects when taken together [1].

Potential risks of combining Advil and aspirin include increased risk of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, and potential interactions with other medications [1][2]. Additionally, both medications can affect blood clotting, and combining them may increase the risk of bleeding [1].

It is important to note that while both Advil and aspirin are available over-the-counter, they are still medications that can have serious side effects when not taken as directed [1]. Consulting a healthcare professional can help ensure that the medications are taken safely and effectively [2].

In summary, based on the available information, it is recommended to consult a doctor before combining Advil and aspirin due to the potential increased risk of side effects [1][2].
