See the DrugPatentWatch profile for advil
Ibuprofen, commonly sold under the brand name Advil, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, inflammation, and fever. While generally considered safe for short-term use, daily Advil consumption can lead to several side effects.
Common side effects of daily Advil use include:
1. Stomach issues: Ibuprofen can cause stomach pain, ulcers, and acid reflux due to its irritation of the gastrointestinal lining [1].
2. Cardiovascular risks: Long-term NSAID use is associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke [1].
3. Kidney problems: Prolonged ibuprofen use may lead to kidney damage or kidney disease [1].
4. High blood pressure: Ibuprofen can increase blood pressure, which may worsen if you already have hypertension [1].
5. Allergic reactions: Some people may experience allergic reactions, including rashes, hives, and swelling [1].
6. Gastrointestinal bleeding: Long-term use of NSAIDs like Advil can lead to gastrointestinal bleeding, which may be severe or life-threatening [1].
It is essential to consult a healthcare professional before starting or continuing daily Advil use, especially for those with preexisting conditions or those taking other medications [1].
