What does advil contain?

What active ingredient is in Advil?

Advil’s main pain- and fever-fighting ingredient is ibuprofen, a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [1]

What other ingredients (inactive) are in Advil?

The inactive ingredients depend on the specific Advil product and formulation (for example, tablets vs. liquid gels vs. children’s forms). [1] If you tell me which exact Advil product you have (the wording on the label and strength, like “Advil 200 mg”), I can help you identify the ingredient list for that specific version.

Does Advil contain ingredients besides ibuprofen?

Yes. Advil formulations also include inactive components such as fillers, binders, coatings, and flavoring (for liquid versions). The exact set varies by product type. [1]

How can you check the ingredient list on your bottle?

Look at the “Drug Facts” panel on the package. It lists:
- Active ingredient(s): ibuprofen
- Inactive ingredient(s): the specific excipients for that product
- Uses and warnings [1]
