  6. Mvanderbilt says:

    could be. you really shouldn't take any of that stuff on an empty stomache. you probly also felt dizzy because you hadn't eaten. advil makes the blow flow faster so it's all relavant

  7. Argo76 says:

    Your supposed to eat before taking it. Im guessing nausea and headaches are side effects.

  8. Xcession says:

    yeah i dont think the advil did that to you but maybe it did

    I take it on an empty stomach all the time with no side effects
    I get more side effects from my vitamins on an empty stomach

    yea pretty much.its not like your going to die or anything.

    lmao your weak!

    i take like 12 Advil's and down a bottle of goose(alcohol) and nothing happens, how come everything happens to you guys!

  14. Mromega says:

    yeah it sounds like it. Always try to take it at least w a glass of milk or an orange or apple or a power bar. Its eally unhealthy to take any pills on an empty stomach

  15. Rogerb says:

    it will mess with your stomach even if its full, plus there are dangers to the liver down the road = try tylonol or motrin they are a little easier= but always take with food even if its just a piece of cheese or bread= as with any medication, read the instructions before using.

  16. Lameboy says:

    You should always use the lowest possible dose of Advil or NSAIDs for the shortest duration.

    If gastrointestinal upset occurs take with milk or food.

    Advil or NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms.

    This is more likely the longer you use them.

    Side effects of NSAIDs include (partial list):
    nausea, abdominal distress, abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion, dizziness, headache, nervousness, rashes, decreased appetite

    Patients with a prior history of peptic ulcer disease or GI bleeding who use NSAIDs have a greater than 10-fold increased risk for developing a GI bleed.

    Increased risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding are:
    1. concomitant use of oral corticosteroids or anticoagulants
    2. longer duration of NSAID therapy
    3. smoking
    4. use of alcohol
    5. older age
    6. poor general health status
