Brief Answer:
Advil contraindications are stomach diseases, other meds usually ok

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

contraindications for advil are stomach conditions such as acute gastritis or ulcer. Also high grade kidney and heart disease are contraindications for higher and long term advil intake. As long as you only take advil temporarily and none of the above conditions exist, advil usually does not interfere with the other meds you named.

Since i don't know any more about your medical history, i have to advise to also check back with your local gp about this or provide more medical information such as heart conditions or others in your case.

Best regards
