Advil is a brand of ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and reduce fever. Advil offers a variety of products that contain ibuprofen, including Advil Tablets, Advil Liqui-Gels, Advil Migraine, Advil PM, Advil Dual Action, and Advil Cold and Sinus. Each product has a different formulation and is designed to address specific symptoms.
Advil Tablets are the original Advil product and are designed to relieve minor aches and pains, as well as reduce fever. Advil Liqui-Gels are a liquid-filled capsule that is absorbed quickly and can provide relief for up to 8 hours. Advil Migraine is formulated specifically for the treatment of migraine headaches. Advil PM is a combination of ibuprofen and the sleep aid diphenhydramine, designed to relieve pain and help users fall asleep. Advil Dual Action combines ibuprofen and acetaminophen for more effective pain relief. Advil Cold and Sinus contains ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine to relieve cold and sinus symptoms.
It is important to note that while ibuprofen can be an effective pain reliever, it can also have side effects and interactions with other medications. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any new medication.
