Why Advil?

Advil® Works Differently To Provide Trusted Pain Relief

While there are many pain relievers available for sale without a prescription, it is important to know the differences between them. The pain reliever in Advil is ibuprofen, which is part of a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which also includes aspirin and naproxen sodium. Clinical studies have shown that when taken as directed, Advil is a safe and effective pain reliever.

 

Advil does not contain acetaminophen, an active ingredient that is included in many other pain relievers. Acetaminophen may cause severe liver damage when taken in excess of recommended doses.

 

For 25 years, patients and doctors have trusted Advil to deliver fast and long-lasting relief from many kinds of acute pain – headache, muscle aches, backache and minor arthritis pain. No other over-the-counter pain reliever has been proven stronger or to last longer on pain than Advil.

 

Any medication may cause side effects. You should not take more than the recommended dose because it will increase the risk of side effects. To maximize the benefit and reduce risk, it is important to use over-the-counter medicines responsibly according to the label and speak with a doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.

 

Please refer to the label for complete warnings and important information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pain Reliever, November 9, 2010

By 

Joe, Phd. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Advil Liquid Gels 240 Ct. (Health and Beauty)

Reviewing Advil is kind of like reviewing a pencil: use the pointed end to write with- if you make a mistake, use the other end. Read more reviews about Advil just to be sure its Advil.

Jokes aside though, this is my favorite pain reliever. Tylenol just doesn't work as well for me as Advil, but that's an individual thing you'll have to decide for yourself through trial and error. Know that Advil is metabolized in the kidney, unlike Tylenol that's metabolized in the liver. The point here is that if you're already taking a lot of meds that are metabolized in the liver, it could be very taxing on your liver taking Tylenol all the time. And liver failure stinks.

Also keep in mind that if you have a chronic (long-term) pain problem, like back pain, pain meds like Advil and Tylenol simply treat the symptoms and not the cause- so try to get at the source of your pain if you can, instead of loading up on pain meds for the rest of your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best OTC for Toothache - IMHO, January 2, 2012

By 

T. Ater "Timecow" (GRASS VALLEY, CA, US) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Advil Liquid Gels 240 Ct. (Health and Beauty)

I have to agree with Dr. Joe's rather brilliant review... It's Advil, how much can one really say that's new? However, I wanted to add that for all of the standard store bought pain meds, Advil Liqui-Gels are the fastest and best relief I have found. I suffer from chronic pain, and am on some pretty heavy prescription meds because of it. Without going into long explanations, when I get a bad toothache, my regular pain meds might as well be M&Ms. I thought that if my heavy duty pain killers couldn't touch the pain, how can some little OTC pill make a difference. And yet it does! For one thing, most toothaches are cause by inflammation, and Advil is an anti inflammatory. If the swelling goes down even a little, it is often a huge relief, and Advil does the trick for me. IN fact, even my dentist keeps some Liqui-Gels on hand for his patients. The other thing is speed... They not only work, but they work fast, and if you have a bad toothache, relief can't come soon enough.

This is a great product at a great price. I had to run out and pick some up at my local market, and all they had were the 20 count bottles, at almost SIX dollars! To get a 240 count bottle for $20 is a deal you can't beat!

Advil Liqui-Gels Caps, to me, are one of the best pain relievers on the market today. When I get any type of body ache or pain from headache, I take 1-2 of these with warm-to-hot water (to help dissolve the gel cap quicker) and whatever was bothering me is gone before I can remember that there was. They simply work -- fast and well.
