How Does Advil Work?
The active ingredient in this type of pain reliever is ibuprofen, a kind of drug called a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID. It provides fast, long lasting relief from sharp, short-term pain. The body produces prostaglandins as part of the inflammatory process. These fatty acid compounds cause pain and fever. Ibuprofen temporarily blocks the production of prostaglandins, thus reducing both pain and fever. It stops the pain at the point of the inflammation, giving relief where and when you need it. It offers substantial relief from pain for up to six hours.

Does Ibuprofen Need to be Taken With food?
While it is not necessary to take with food, it can be taken with milk or food to avoid a potential stomach upset. If you have a history of stomach problems or heartburn, consult a physician before taking an NSAID.

Can This Product be Taken While Pregnant or Nursing?
Always consult a healthcare professional before taking this or any medication. Many pain relievers caution use while in the last three months of pregnancy unless directed by a physician.

Is Ibuprofen Addictive?
No, because it affects the body at the site of inflammation and not the brain. It is not habit forming and is nonnarcotic. It does not show addictive properties.

Is Advil Gluten Free?
Some varieties do contain a wheat derivative and thus are not gluten-free. It cannot be guaranteed that trace amounts of gluten or its derivatives are not included in raw materials from various suppliers in some of the coated varieties. The end product is not tested for gluten. Please check with a doctor if you have concerns about taking this product.
