Can advil (ibuprofen) pm cause stomach upset?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OMG, Yes!: There are many causes of acid-related +/- stomach upset problems including: food, pregnancy, smoking, NSAIDs, alcohol, stress, possible bacterial infection. dysmotility. If any of these may contribute to your stomach upset, then consider diet change, curtail alcohol, quit smoking, cut out the NSAID's (e.g. Advil, ibuprofen), rule out H. Pylori infection, trial acid blockers & seek medical eval.
