How this medicine works

The current label places ibuprofen in the NSAID class. That context helps explain why pain, inflammation, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and kidney risks need review together; it does not determine personal suitability, tablet count, interval or duration.

Check the market, names, dosage form and route together

A medicine may use different brand names across markets. Keep the market, brand, generic name, dosage form and route together; one matching field does not prove that two packs are the same or interchangeable.

FOR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

After the leaflet, continue with the question you still need to check

What this pack is

Advil is the brand name in this record; ibuprofen is the generic name. Read both together with the dosage form (oral tablet).

What this page can show

This is a source-traceable public record. It helps you read the product identity and its listed source documents; each market still needs its own current record check.

What to bring to the next conversation

Bring the actual pack, the label or prescription, and a complete medicine list when you speak with a pharmacist or clinician.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION IDENTITY

Strength, pack and device identity

Package strength is not an individual dose. These fields help identify the exact labelled product; they do not calculate how much, how often, a missed-use action, splitting, switching or conversion.

How to read a score line: ‘scored’ or ‘unscored’ first identifies this labelled presentation. A score line by itself does not permit self-splitting, reducing or changing the product. Only an explicit statement in the current label for this exact presentation, checked with a pharmacist against the prescription, can support any further handling.

1 source-backed strength, pack or device records — open the full list

First match the market, dosage form and labelled amount on the pack in hand. The number of tablets, sachets or devices in a pack is not a personal dose or schedule.

LABEL READING · NOT A PRESCRIPTION

ADVIL label reading: 200 mg first identifies the exact coated tablet, then check duplicate NSAIDs

Reading level: drug-specific label reading. This record has been expanded around its dosage form or a higher-risk reading question; the current target-market label and professional review still apply.

This module only helps check the exact Advil coated tablet, ibuprofen per tablet, package and Drug Facts risks; it provides no personal tablet count, interval, duration, missed-use, stopping or substitution plan.

  • Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Check aspirin, naproxen, ibuprofen and other pain, cold or prescription medicines for class or ingredient overlap; different brands do not permit self-combination.
  • The label warns about stomach bleeding, especially for people aged 60 or older, with ulcer or bleeding history, or using anticoagulants, steroids, other NSAIDs or more alcohol. Black stools, vomiting blood, persistent stomach pain or fainting warrants timely local medical support.
  • Kidney disease, diuretics, multiple cardiovascular medicines or dehydration require clinician or pharmacist review of the complete medicine list; this page provides no supposed safe kidney threshold or personal plan.
  • NSAID use at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later requires discussion with a professional using the current label and FDA safety information. This page does not decide suitability from gestational age.
  • If low-dose aspirin is used for prevention, do not stop, space or replace it from a webpage; have a clinician or pharmacist review aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and every medicine pack together.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE · OFFICIAL ROUTES

Check safety information in the right market

Start with the public label or product record linked to this dossier, then use the official safety routes below for the market that applies to the medicine in hand.

Match five details before using a safety record

  1. Brand and generic nameBoth must match the medicine named by the record.
  2. Dosage form and strengthTablet, capsule, injection, inhaler, patch and eye drop are not interchangeable.
  3. Market and notice dateA record applies only to the country or region and date it names.
  4. Lot, pack and manufacturerRecord these only when the official notice specifically names them.
  5. Current product informationA historical record may have been superseded by the current label.

This checklist only helps organise the right question. It does not create a personal conclusion about stopping, switching, dose, combination or suitability.

Reviewed official safety records

A dated record is not automatically a current alert. Read the named product, form, batch, market, date and source type before treating it as relevant.

  • FDA Drug Safety Communication: NSAID risk communication in pregnancy at about 20 weeks or later, including ibuprofen2020-10-15 · On 2020-10-15, FDA issued an NSAID Drug Safety Communication that explicitly names ibuprofen and says the risk communication applies to prescription and over-the-counter NSAIDs: use at about 20 weeks of pregnancy or later may be associated with fetal kidney problems and low amniotic fluid. The Advil dossier links this dated U.S. class communication through ibuprofen as its active-ingredient clue. It does not mean that any Advil pack, another ibuprofen product, another market or any individual has a problem, and it does not support self-starting, stopping, switching, changing an amount or replacing pain medicine. Pregnancy, suspected pregnancy, pain or fever questions require review of the exact product, current target-market label and complete medicine list with the prescribing team or pharmacist.Primary-source record (open linked document) ↗reviewed 2026-08-22

PACK · LABEL · MEDICINE LIST

Six checks for this medicine pack

Use this card to organise questions about Advil (ibuprofen). Keep the exact pack, its current label and the full medicine list together.

  1. Identify the exact product

    Advil is the brand in this record and ibuprofen is the active-ingredient name. Check both with the dosage form (Oral coated tablets: ibuprofen 200 mg per tablet; this dossier displays the 24-tablet bottle, NDC 0573-0150-20) and the market on the actual pack.

  2. Read the labelled strength in context

    mg, mcg, mg/mL or a percentage describes the labelled amount in one tablet, capsule, measured volume, spray or other unit. It is not an answer to how many units a person should take.

  3. Check before splitting or opening

    Before splitting, crushing, chewing or opening anything, find an explicit instruction for this exact product in its current label and ask a pharmacist. A score line or a previous pack is not enough by itself.

  4. Put every product on one list

    Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products, eye drops, creams, vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements. A pharmacist or prescriber needs the whole list before any combination, alternation, switch or stop is considered.

  5. Ask a specific pharmacogenetics question

    Ask which medicine, which gene and what clinical decision a result could change. A gene–drug association does not mean broad genetic testing is needed for everyone and must not be used to change treatment without professional review.

  6. Know when to seek urgent help

    For a suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, fainting or difficulty breathing, use the local emergency or poison-information service now. Do not wait for a website reply or alter several medicines to test what caused it.

This card does not calculate a dose, decide whether medicines can be combined, or replace a clinician or pharmacist. Market-specific current labels and the person's full context still need review.

CO-MEDICATION REVIEW · NOT A TREATMENT DECISION

When COUMADIN / warfarin is on the same list: an anticoagulant is a priority review cue

The current U.S. public Drug Facts for ADVIL lists use of a blood-thinning anticoagulant as a risk cue in its stomach-bleeding warning. This card only signals that the actual Advil pack, warfarin pack, other pain/cold products, prescription medicines, OTC products and supplements need review by the responsible team; it does not decide co-use or advise self-stopping, time-separation, replacement or adjustment of either medicine.

HOW IT WORKS · NOT A TREATMENT PLAN

How ibuprofen works: an NSAID class explanation is not an individual regimen

  • A shared NSAID class or 200 mg marking does not make another ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin or combination product self-combinable or substitutable.
  • Coated tablets, caplets, Liqui-Gels, children's liquids and topical products are different product identities and cannot be collapsed by brand or generic name alone.
  • Chest pain, breathing difficulty, sudden weakness, serious gastrointestinal bleeding signs, markedly reduced urine or acute allergy warrants local urgent medical support.

RECORD FAQ

Record questions

Can someone using aspirin self-switch to Advil or adjust timing?

A webpage cannot decide this. Do not self-stop preventive aspirin; have a clinician or pharmacist review aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and the complete medicine list.
