Taking advil (ibuprofen). is itching a common side effect of this medicine?

Itching on advil (ibuprofen): although itching can occur on advil (ibuprofen) as long as you have no rash or throat tightness or other swelling it's probably ok to use it. If the itching gets worse or new symptoms occur, I would stop using it and talk to your doctor about it. Good luck

Yes: Itching has been described as a side effect of ibuprofen (Advil). It can also be a sign of an allergic reaction. If you develop a rash, difficulty breathing or swallowing, see your doctor. Hope this helps!
