Advil Liqui-Gels 200mg Ibuprofen Pain Relief Capsules, 32 capsules

Advil Liqui-Gels contain Ibuprofen in a liquid-solubilised form enclosed in a softgel capsule. When swallowed, the softgel dissolves rapidly and the already-solubilised Ibuprofen is absorbed more quickly from the gastrointestinal tract than Ibuprofen powder that must first dissolve before it can be absorbed. This results in a faster onset of pain relief - a clinically meaningful advantage for acute pain conditions such as headache and migraine where the sooner relief begins, the better the overall treatment experience.

Specs

• Active ingredient: Ibuprofen 200mg (solubilised in liquid-gel capsule)
• Drug class: NSAID
• Form: Softgel capsules (Liqui-Gels)
• Pack size: 32 capsules
• Key advantage: Faster absorption than solid Ibuprofen tablets
• Action: Analgesic / anti-inflammatory / antipyretic

Benefits

• Solubilised Ibuprofen in the liquid-gel capsule dissolves and is absorbed significantly faster than the compressed Ibuprofen powder in conventional tablets - pharmacokinetic studies show faster time to peak plasma concentration with Liqui-Gels
• The faster onset is clinically meaningful for acute pain - getting Ibuprofen into the bloodstream faster means pain relief begins sooner, reducing the total duration of discomfort and improving the overall treatment experience for headache, migraine, and acute musculoskeletal pain
• The same complete NSAID profile of Ibuprofen - analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic - is delivered at 200mg per capsule with the speed advantage of the liquid-gel format
• The softgel capsule format is easy to swallow for many patients who find large solid tablets difficult, and the absence of a chalky taste makes it more pleasant to take than some generic Ibuprofen tablet formats
• 32 capsules provides a practical supply for the episodic pain relief use typical of OTC Ibuprofen - approximately 8 full adult doses at the maximum 4-capsule (800mg) per dose or 16 doses at the standard 2-capsule (400mg) dose
