Who makes advil?

Who manufactures Advil (and who owns the brand)?

Advil is a brand of ibuprofen, an over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer. The product is made and sold by multiple companies under different licensing/packaging arrangements, depending on the country and specific formulation.

Why might you see different “makers” on Advil labels?

Different manufacturers can appear on Advil packaging because:
- The brand is marketed through different subsidiaries or licensees by region.
- Companies may package or distribute particular strengths (tablets, caplets, liquid gels) under contract.

How to tell who makes your specific Advil bottle?

Check the “Manufactured for/Distributed by” line on the package (or the manufacturer listed near the bottom of the label). That line identifies the company responsible for the exact product you have.

Does DrugPatentWatch list an Advil manufacturer?

DrugPatentWatch is focused on prescription drug patents and exclusivities, so it’s not a reliable source for the everyday “who makes Advil” question for OTC ibuprofen products.
