Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What conditions can Advil Tablets be used for?

A: Advil Tablets (ibuprofen 200mg) can be used for headache, migraine, tension headache, toothache, period pain (dysmenorrhoea), muscle aches, back pain, joint pain, arthritis, fever and general aches and pains. As an NSAID, it provides both pain relief and anti-inflammatory action — making it more effective than paracetamol alone for inflammatory conditions like arthritis and muscle strains.

Q: How does ibuprofen differ from paracetamol for pain relief?

A: Ibuprofen is an NSAID — it reduces inflammation as well as relieving pain, making it more effective for inflammatory pain conditions (muscle strains, arthritis, dental pain). Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic but has no anti-inflammatory action. For purely inflammatory pain, ibuprofen is generally more effective. For general pain and fever without inflammation, paracetamol is equally effective with a different side effect profile. Some people alternate both for more comprehensive pain management.

Q: Are there people who should not take Advil Tablets?

A: Ibuprofen is not suitable for people with peptic ulcers, severe kidney or liver disease, aspirin-sensitive asthma, or those in the third trimester of pregnancy. It should be used with caution in people with cardiovascular disease, reduced kidney function, or those taking anticoagulants or other NSAIDs. Always read the label and check with our pharmacist if you have underlying health conditions before taking ibuprofen.

Q: What is the correct dose of Advil Tablets for adults?

A: The standard adult dose is 1–2 tablets (200–400mg ibuprofen) every 4–6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 3 doses (6 tablets/1200mg) in 24 hours without medical advice. Take with food or milk to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. Do not exceed the recommended dose. For children's dosing, consult a pharmacist — ibuprofen dose is weight-based in children.
