It is also used to reduce fever and to relieve minor aches and pain due to the common cold or flu. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever.

| Add Advil review I take 9 200mg tablets daily along with tramadol for relief of a combination of pain from arthritis, spinal stenosis, and 3 bulging discs. Would like to do something else but Dr. dosen't seemed concerned..?? ADVIL HAS ALWAYS WORKED FOR ME. I WAS READING ABOUT HOW ADVIL COULD HELP TO IMPROVE MY HOT FLASHES SO I'M GOING TO TRY IT. was afraid to administer this pill, because my father is taking warfarin for a bleeding disorder. even though the doctor recommended it. hopefully I made the right choice. | Add Tylenol review I have used this medicene since it was first put on market for use, and been very happy with the results.
