“If used sparingly, [Advil] rarely causes any major side effects,” says Nauman Tariq, M.D., an assistant professor of neurology and the director of the Headache Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital. (Tariq says a safe dosage is usually 600mg a day, or about three tablets a day, once or twice a week.)

Does Advil damage kidneys?
