Advil

Advil is a branded form of ibuprofen, an NSAID available in tablets, gel-caps, chewables, and suspensions. Each adult tablet contains 200 mg or 400 mg ibuprofen.

It relieves headaches, toothache, period cramps, back pain, muscle strains, minor arthritis, cold-and-flu aches, and reduces fever. Prescription doses treat bursitis, tendonitis, and post-operative swelling.

Ibuprofen temporarily blocks cyclo-oxygenase enzymes that produce prostaglandins - the chemical messengers that create pain, fever, and swelling. Less prostaglandin equals less discomfort.

Adults: 200-400 mg every 6-8 hours, maximum 1,200 mg over 24 hours.

Most people feel relief within 20-30 minutes; anti-inflammatory benefit for sprains or arthritis builds over a few doses.

For pain or fever, simply take when needed but respect the 6-hour spacing.

• Very common: mild indigestion or heartburn. 
• Common: nausea, stomach ache, dizziness, fluid retention. 
• Occasional: raised blood pressure, ringing ears, skin rash. 
• Rare but serious: stomach bleeding, perforation, black stools, vomiting blood, severe allergic shock, kidney injury, heart attack or stroke in long-term high-dose users.
