Advil is a well-known brand of ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. It is available both over-the-counter and in prescription strength. Advil is a pain reliever that is often used to treat headaches, menstrual cramps, toothaches, muscle aches, backaches, and arthritis.
Dosage
Adults should take 200-400mg every 4-6 hours, up to a maximum of 1200mg per day. The dosage for children is determined by their weight and age. It is critical to adhere to the stated dosage and not exceed the maximum amount, since this can result in serious side effects.
Side Effects
Advil, like other NSAIDs, can have unpleasant side effects. Stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, and headache are all common adverse effects. Although uncommon, more significant side effects can include bleeding, ulcers, and renal damage. Long-term Advil use may increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Precautions
If you have any medical concerns, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, liver or renal illness, or a history of stomach ulcers, you should consult your doctor before taking this. Advil should not be taken in the latter trimester of pregnancy or during breastfeeding since it can harm the infant. Advil should also be taken with caution in elderly people and those taking other prescriptions because it can interfere with certain medications.
