What’s in Advil (active ingredients)?
Advil is the brand name for ibuprofen. The key “component” people usually mean is the active drug ingredient: ibuprofen. Depending on the exact Advil product (e.g., regular tablets, liquid gels, children’s forms, or “PM” products), the dose and other inactive ingredients can differ.
What are the inactive ingredients (besides ibuprofen)?
Advil products include ibuprofen plus inactive ingredients used to make tablets or liquids work the way they’re designed (for example, fillers, binders, coatings, sweeteners/flavorings for liquid forms, and other processing ingredients). The specific list varies by:
- Product type (tablets vs. liquid gels vs. children’s suspension)
- Strength (e.g., 200 mg vs. other dosages)
- Country/market and package formulation
Which exact Advil product do you mean?
To give the precise component list, you need the exact label. For example:
- Advil Tablets 200 mg (ibuprofen)
- Advil Liqui-Gels 200 mg (ibuprofen)
- Advil Children’s (formulation differs by age and concentration)
- Advil PM (can include an additional active ingredient for sleep)
If you tell me the exact product name (or paste the “Supplement Facts/Drug Facts” section from the box/bottle), I can list the ibuprofen strength and the complete active-and-inactive ingredient set that applies to that specific Advil.
