Is advil bad for you?

Question

I get headaches and take advil at least once a week. Sometimes I take it 4 times a week. When I a get fever I take it too.

Answer 1

Excessive use is never recommended. Talk to your doctor if you have to take over-the-counter pain-killers frequently.  

Answer 2

No, it's only harmful in excess.  When I was injured they prescribed me 800 mg (4 normal pills) every 4 hours.  I wouldn't take over the recommended amount at any 1 time, and limit it's use to only when you need it.

I've taken 800 mg 4 times a day for a week, and nothing bad happened, I just didn't make it a habit and was under a Doctors care.

Answer 3

why don't you find why you gets headaches? find the root of the problem ... and fix it then no pills needed
