Advil

[Elisabethsew 50]

I am on Coumadin and take Aleve for severe arthritis. Because it is NOT possible for me to come off these meds without risking my health, I was placed on Nexium. My surgeon has no problem with this and allows his patients to take an occasional NSAID. Bottom line... check with YOUR MD.

My doctor suggested advil liquid gel caps so I don't know differently.

My doctor allowed me childrens liquid Ibuprofen and now that I was a year out, he said I could take regular ibuprofen tablets when I need to. But as others have said, Ask your doctor what he would prefer you use for pain relief. You can also call your docs office, they will find out for you and get a message to you.

Hi - I wouldn't take any advil because it can cause bleeding during and after surgery (any kind). But double check with your doc. GOOD LUCK!!!
