daily ibuprofen??

daily ibuprofen??

My husband takes advil on a daily basis, usually more than 4 pills a day. It is for minor pain, headache. He has no major health problems. Is it safe for him to make this a habit?

Due to the potential for stomach problems, taking ibuprofen on a daily basis is not recommended.  You say:  "It is for minor pain, headache.  He has no major health problems", however he should not be in pain every day unless he does have a health problem, even a "minor" one.  He should get checked out by a physician to find out why he needs daily pain meds.
