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 Advil Works, August 24, 2006

By 

Wisconsin Dad (Wisconsin United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Advil Solubilized Ibuprofen, 200 mg, Liquid Filled Capsules 180 liqui-gels (Health and Beauty)

My life before Advil was rough. I was in the medical field, driving each day, working a different shift(s) each day, and on some days working 16-18 hours on little sleep. Headaches plagued me, along with sore muscles and a sore neck from having a hand always on the steering wheel.

Advil saved my life. There is no other pain reliever that cures my headaches within 30 minutes like Advil does. When I pop 2 Advils, I know with confidence that my headache will be gone in 20-30 minutes. And it works 99.9% of the time.

Advil cures stress headaches, sinus headaches, caffeine headaches, headaches from little sleep, and headaches from too much intense work. The only thin Advil doesn't handle as well as I'd like is muscle aches. Despite this drawback, Advil is the best in my book. I always keep a bottle with me in my car, at work, and where ever I go.

If you haven't tried Advil, you need to.

This review is from: Advil Solubilized Ibuprofen, 200 mg, Liquid Filled Capsules 180 liqui-gels (Health and Beauty)

I'd far prefer to use the generic forms of ibuprofen but was having hives from the extra ingredients that are used for fillers. Someone recommended the liqui-gel form and the hives disappeared. I used generic ibuprofen for years to alleviate joint pain.
Hives is one of the possible side-effects of ibupofen. If you experience anything unusual while using a drug, check out possible side effects related to it. Tinitus is also a possible side effect of ibuprofen and aspirin.
