Hello,
I understand your concern. There is no know interaction between Metronidazole and Advil and between Omeprazole and Advil. There is, however, a known interaction between Sertraline and Advil, which is increased risk of bleeding. Occasional use of Advil should be fine though.
I hope this answers your question.
Wishing you all the best.
