What “Advil manudate date” usually means (and where to find it)
People often mean the “manufacturing date” (MFG) or the “manufacture date” on the Advil (ibuprofen) package. You can usually find it printed on the bottle label, the box, or on the tablet/bottle’s outer packaging.
Check these common places:
- On the bottle label (often near the lot number)
- On the box side panel or bottom flap
- On the bottle bottom or neck (sometimes printed or laser-marked)
Can you tell me which Advil product you have?
“Advil” has multiple versions (liquigels, tablets, children’s, etc.), and the date format/placement can vary by product and country/market. If you share:
- the exact product name (for example, “Advil Liqui-Gels”),
- the strength (for example, 200 mg),
- and what the packaging shows (a photo or the characters near the code, like “LOT” or “MFG”),
I can tell you what that code corresponds to and where it is located.
What common codes on Advil packages look like
Many Advil packages also include:
- “LOT” (lot/batch number)
- “EXP” (expiration date)
- Sometimes “MFG” (manufactured) or a date that’s printed without the label “MFG”
If you only see an “EXP,” that’s the expiration date, not the manufacturing date.
Where is the date most likely to be if you can’t find it?
If the bottle label doesn’t show a clear manufacturing date, look for:
- a printed code on the bottle bottom,
- a printed code near the cap,
- or a date on the outer carton (not the blister/individual units).

No sources were used because the question appears to be about where a specific manufacturing/expiration date is printed on your exact Advil package, and that depends on the product and packaging.
