Current Meds: Advil

How It Works: Advil is a systemic NSAID that decreases inflammation throughout the body. It inhibits the synthesis of a mediator called prostaglandin, which is responsible for causing the sensation of pain. Advil also produces vasoconstriction to shrink the blood vessels to decrease swelling.

Common Side Effects: Advil may cause dizziness, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, nausea and stomach pain. If you experience an allergic reaction, dark stools, chest pain, confusion, dark urine, depression, fainting, fast heartbeat, arm/leg numbness, peeling skin, severe vomiting, bruising, bleeding or unusual joint/muscle pain, seek medical attention immediately.
