What are the different types of advil available?



Advil is a brand name for ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can be used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation. There are different types of Advil available, including tablets, capsules, and liquid gels.

Advil tablets are available in two strengths: 200 mg and 400 mg. The 200 mg tablets are available over-the-counter (OTC), while the 400 mg tablets require a prescription [1]. The tablets are round, coated, and come in a variety of package sizes.

Advil capsules are also available in two strengths: 200 mg and 400 mg. The 200 mg capsules are available OTC, while the 400 mg capsules require a prescription. The capsules are oblong and come in a variety of package sizes [1].

Advil liquid gels are available in a single strength of 200 mg and are also available OTC. The liquid gels are filled with a liquid form of ibuprofen that is absorbed faster than the tablets or capsules. They come in a variety of package sizes [2].

It is important to note that Advil should be used only as directed and that it is not recommended for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as stomach ulcers, kidney disease, or heart disease, should talk to their doctor before taking Advil. It is also important to avoid taking Advil with other NSAIDs or with alcohol [3].

In conclusion, Advil is available in tablets, capsules, and liquid gels, with different strengths available for each type. It is important to use Advil only as directed and to talk to a doctor before taking it if you have certain medical conditions.
