Assuming you're not: allergic to medications in the aspirin family, there's no reason you can't take Advil from time to time. The liquid-gel form absorbs more quickly & easily than the tabs or capsules but, otherwise, they are all the same drug,ibuprofen.

Prontonix Reactions: YArias; May take Advil (ibuprofen) to diminish dental pain while taking Pantoprozole. However, i would take one Advil (ibuprofen) at a time with the Pantoprozole. Better doctors' to share these concerns with are the MD who fixed the Stricture or the dentist who filled the cavities.

Recommended: Advil (ibuprofen) is most commonly recommended to relieve mild pain. The Pantoprazole can help to decrease upset stomach symptoms due to the Advil (ibuprofen).
