Is it safe to take advil everyday? What are the side effects?

Advil can generally be said to be safe to take everyday. Lots of people do. But there are specific conditions that may make it unsafe for you to take it at all or take it on a regular basis. You need to read the package insert if you take no other meds regularly and to your doctor or pharmacist if you do.

What is Advil?

It is similar to aspirin.

Advil is great.. dont take it every day,,, but if I have muscle aches or just not right I take an advil.. I swear by them.. thats all I ever use....

whats better for headaches aspirin or advil

Different people respond to each drug differently. Neither.

Then whats good for headaches

Both. What is best for you mightnot be best for someone else. Different drugs react differently in different people. That's why different drugs exist.

I personally prefer Tylenol and Advil over Aspirin. I've heard that Aspirin can harm your stomach.

True, aspirin on an emtpy stomach can hurt the lining of your stomach and too much over time can cause you an ulcer. But Advil makes me sick and vomit. I use Mortrin extra strength.

I actually only take pain relievers only when I can't take the pain, like a severe headache. Otherwise, I just try to live with it.
