Additional Comments:

I was looking on the Advil website and I noticed that this drug may cause stomach bleeding because it contains a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID. You increase your risk if you are... - 60 years of age or older and have had bleeding problems or stomach ulcers. - Taking a blood thinning agent (anticoagulant) or steroid drug. - Taking any other drugs containing an NSAID; such as: aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc... - Drinking 3 or more alcoholic beverages every day while you are taking this medication. - Taking more advil than directed or take it for a longer time than directed.

Pain

Additional Comments:

I took this drug after a day of hard work when my body was aching. It didn't really take any effect, I took two in the morning, than two again in the afternoon. The pain that I had been experiencing was general muscle ache - therefore I thought Advil would do the trick. I was wrong. It made me sick to my stomach - I didn't have anything in my stomach - close to the point of being nauseous. For a bottle of one hundred it's a great deal but I don't think that they are strong enough for the pain that I was in. I would be doubtful that it would work for headaches. It is important to avoid Advil if you have stomach ulcer or bleeding problems - as well as if you are allergic to NSAIDs.
