Advil Pain Reliever

Pros: The pain went away. What more could I ask.
Cons: Take on a full stomach.

I went to bed last Friday night (6th July) feeling great. Slept well and woke up with a scream. I had a job to open my eyes and I was in such pain. I felt my head, forehead, eyelids, then realized the pain was in my eyeballs.

This has never...

Pros: Helped me within shortest time
Cons: None yet

Situation

For 4 weeks I've had serious pain now. One morning I woke up with a strained neck. The neck would crack loudly at the slightest move of the head and any move of my left arm would inflict pain. After two weeks without...

Pros: A great anti-inflammatory. Many other uses for pain management.
Cons: Doesn't get rid of my headaches.

About My Title
I don't really buy Advil in case lots, but now that my hubby and I are in our mid 40's, we do use this a lot more often than we did when we were younger. If we buy it in the large bottles the savings is substantial....

Pros: easy to swallow, works well and dose can be increased if necessary
Cons: causes allergic reaction in some, doesn't seem to work as well for fever

Fell down the stairs, that is. I should've stuck with a one-story house :-) After being taken away in an ambulance and being subjected to 3 hours of sitting in the hospital, waiting for X-Rays, the verdict came in that nothing was broken! Thank God! ...

Pros: Works effectively
Cons: Can bother some stomachs

I am in the unfortunate position of literally pain testing Advil versus Tylenol. Advil won and I will give you a bit of history and tell you why.

I have been an avid Advil user for years. I also have tried Aleve and, of course,...

Pros: Works quickly
Cons: Nasty sugar coating

There are a lot of women who love to be pregnant. They find it be some sort of mystical experience. I’m not one those women. I figure that in another 8 months or so I should finally have my body back all to myself. But at least while nursing I can toss ...

Pros: great for muscle aches
Cons: none I can think of

Hi there! We find ourselves once again standing in front of loves2run's medicine cabinet contemplating all those pain relievers she has in there. Why so many different brands? Well, she refuses to be brand loyal. Why? She lives on a tight budget and...

Pros: Lessened the pain of my barely survivable headaches
Cons: None, except that it doesn't come in stronger dosages

On October 30, 2002, at 9:00 pm, I stood up to ask a question at a public meeting. I’d spent about 20 years as a classroom and video trainer, so speaking in public was no problem for me. But something happened this time; as I spoke, a couple of ...

Pros: Trusted name, reliable, works great, small pills.
Cons: Price but you do get what you pay for.

I really am weird. *grin* I hate taking pills of any kind. I am particular about what goes into my mouth. I also have an overboard aversion to needles but that is another story.

Usually when I would get a headache or other kind of ache I...

Pros: effective on mild to moderate pain
Cons: ineffective on moderate to severe pain

The active ingredient in Advil is Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen has been FDA approved since 1985. At the time I remember considering it a wonder drug.

At the time I was in my mid-teens and took Advil for the relief of tension...

Pros: It works! It works quickly, easy to swallow.
Cons: Expensive, doesn't work well for head aches for me personally.

When I feel a back ache coming on I have a sure fire method for keeping the pain at bay. What is my method. Well the first step in my method is to wait until bed time. Then take 2 Advils, then take a nice hot bath, immediately apply Ben Gay and then...

Pros: Effective, Easy to find, Coated Tablets
Cons: None

As I am typing this reviewing, I still can't believe I'm reviewing something as simple as Advil. I try to write reviews about products that have left an impression on me, whether good or bad. I never thought something I considered as insignificant and ...

Pros: Worked Pretty Fast For Over The Counter
Cons: None For Me

I got a terrible tooth ache last night from a fractured tooth that I have. Since I don’t have dental insurance I have been treating it at home with over the counter products and some Vicodin that I have had for over a year now. I have hoarded it so...

Pros: Quick relief; coated, easy-to-swallow tablets; childproof cap.
Cons: -

I use Advil mainly for headaches and menstrual cramps, finding that a single tablet provides almost instant relief for me. The dosage is one tablet every 4-6 hours. If you get tolerant to it, or the fever/pain does not lessen, you may have to take two...

Pros: Works better than Tylenol in some cases. Generally regarded as a stronger drug.
Cons: May cause some side effects if consumed improperly.

I think there is no other drug out there that I praise more then ibuprofen – an active ingredient of Advil. I have a serious medical problem - migraine. Quite a nasty experience and I had to try all different types of over-the-counter drugs to figure ...
