Advil (ibuprofen): You may take four tablets of advil (ibuprofen) amounting to800 mg, but this will not help your asthma.

Not always: Aspirin and nsaids like ibuprofen/ advil, can trigger or worsen your asthma symptoms. Consider tylenol (acetaminophen) instead, and talk to your dr about why you need daily pain medication at all.

Asthma and advil (ibuprofen): Unless your asthma is NSAID dependent, you can take advil (ibuprofen) fine. Nsaid stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, a group of medicines advil (ibuprofen) belongs to, which can trigger asthma attacks.
