i have been taking advil for over 3 weeks i want to stop and switch over to plain aspirin. can i do that safely? . i heard that you cannot just stop taking advil. i have been taking 2 twice a day for back pain.
yes. you can just stop taking advil (ibuprofen). there will be no health consequences. why would you want to swtich to plain aspirin? aspirin can have more side-effects than ibuprofen depending on your dose and how you use it so it would be wise to run this by your medical provider -- someon who knos your medical history.
