A member asked:
Can 15 advil (ibuprofen) per day cause ulcers to reoccur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: One of the side effects of NSAIDS--which advil (ibuprofen) is of that class, is GI bleeding secondary to ulcers. 15 advil (ibuprofen) per day is 3000 mg of IB--which is a LARGE AMT why are you taking that much??? Please make an apt with your DR to address the possible ulcer and just as importantly--to address the problem which you are taking the advil (ibuprofen) for. Good luck, stay healthy.
