Hi,
It is not safe to take aspirin and advil together. If taken together these medicines may increase your risk of developing stomach ulcers and bleeding.
Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe abdominal pain, sudden dizziness or light-headedness, nausea, vomiting (especially with blood), loss of appetite, and/or black, tarry stools.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
