Can advil (ibuprofen) overdose cause hair to fall out or weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not hair loss: It can cause some weight gain as you can retain fluids from it, but your kidneys are the main thing to worry about, so be cautious. It can also lead to stomach issues. If you are gaining weight and loosing hair, and needing large amounts of advil, (ibuprofen) then you may need to get checked out for this confluence of symptoms.
