Mixing Advil PM and Cocaine (coke)
Caution
Carries risk that is worth understanding before combining. Reduce doses and do not use alone.
Can you take Advil PM with Cocaine?
Advil PM contains ibuprofen and diphenhydramine. The most concerning part is Advil PM (Diphenhydramine) with Cocaine: cocaine hides how sedated you are; if it wears off first, high doses of diphenhydramine can stop your breathing. Both strain the heart. Keep diphenhydramine to ordinary medical doses. MixSafe rates Advil PM with Cocaine as "Caution" — carries risk that is worth understanding before combining. Reduce doses and do not use alone. Sources: the Drug Facts labels on DailyMed, the TripSit combination chart and MixSafe research. Educational information, not medical advice.

Ingredient by ingredient
Advil PM (Diphenhydramine) + CocaineCaution
Cocaine hides how sedated you are; if it wears off first, high doses of diphenhydramine can stop your breathing. Both strain the heart. Keep diphenhydramine to ordinary medical doses.
Stimulants increase respiration rate allowing for a higher dose of sedatives than normal. If cocaine wears off first, recreational dosages of DPH may overcome the individual and cause respiratory arrest. Both substances at recreational dosages strain the heart and may lead to further dangerous heart complications. When taken together, both substances can potentially be more reinforcing and have greater risk of methemoglobinemia when higher dosages of DPH are combined with cocaine.

Advil PM (Ibuprofen) + CocaineLow risk, no synergy
Neither substance is expected to meaningfully change the other. Both still carry their own individual risks.
No specific interaction is documented. Ibuprofen's standing risks — stomach bleeding and reduced kidney blood flow — apply in any combination, and matter most when dehydrated, not eating, or dosing repeatedly over a long session.
