Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.

Advil contails Ibuprofen which is non-steroidal anti inflammatory agents, used as analgesics.
Most analgesics and benzodiazepines used for sleep purpose, are mainly metabolized through liver. So overdose of it may increase serum billirubin and ALT.
You should consult your doctor for the same.

You should not take extra dose of any drug without prior consultation with your doctor.

Thanks.
