How quickly does Advil work? How long does it last?

It depends on which form of Advil you take as well as how your body responds to the medicine. Some Advil products are designed to deliver faster relief, so read the product label to see how often you can take a dose.

When your body is hurting or aching, it produces chemicals that trigger pain signals. Ibuprofen, the main ingredient in Advil, stops the production of these chemicals at the source of injury to reduce pain.

What’s the difference between Tylenol and Advil?

The pain reliever in all Advil products is ibuprofen which targets pain at the source. Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, blocks pain signals. Advil Dual Action is first FDA approved combination of the two.

How many Advil should I take?

It depends. For most Advil products you can take 1 capsule/tablet every 4 to 6 hours. For Advil Migraine take 2 capsules with a glass of water every 24 hours. For Advil Dual Action take 2 caplets every 8 hours.

What is Advil Dual Action used for?

Advil Dual Action treats headaches, tooth pain, back pain, menstrual cramps, muscle pains, and minor pain of arthritis. The two active ingredients allow you to take a lower maximum dose of each for combined relief.
