What to do if i was takin advil (ibuprofen) since 2weeks bcuz of toothache.i'v gained weight :|, is it bcuz of advil (ibuprofen)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Weight gain due to taking advil (ibuprofen) is not a reported side effect, nor have i encoutered that complaint in general practice. Your toothache may prevent you from eating healthy/quality food, which could open the door to gaining weight though.
