willow569 7 Share Posted October 14, 2006 How long did she take this much advil? I would think that doing it for a short period of time might be ok (advil can reduce inflamation in acne), but I don't know if it would be good to do for more than a week or two. I think side effects are stomach upset, intestinal problems, etc. I know some anti-inflamatory pain killers can lead to bleeding ulcers if taken too long. So, I would be careful and not overdo it. A few of us have tried Aleve during PMS week only, and that seems to have helped reduce menstrual-related acne flares. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
