Is it safe to take aspirins and advil together?
Patient: Hi i took 3 bayer asprins over an hour ago for some pain i had for an ear infection. and about 5 or 10 minutes ago i took an advil for sinus congestion. i remembered hearing that you should never mix them but at the time i completely forgot. should i be worried right now? Doctor: Hi,It is not safe to take aspirin and advil together. If taken together these medicines may increase your risk of developing stomach ulcers and bleeding.Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe abdominal pain, sudden dizziness or light-headedness, nausea, vomiting (especially with blood), loss of appetite, and/or black, tarry stools. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
