Advil 12 Hour 600mg - 85 Tablets: Extended-Release Pain Relief

Understanding Advil 12 Hour: How It Works

The Science Behind Extended Release

Advil 12 Hour utilizes a unique dual-layer technology designed to provide both immediate and extended pain relief. This innovative formulation features two distinct layers within each tablet. The first layer releases ibuprofen quickly to provide fast-acting relief, while the second layer releases ibuprofen gradually over 12 hours. This extended-release mechanism helps to maintain consistent pain control and reduce the need for frequent dosing, offering a more convenient approach to managing pain.

• Fast-acting relief.
• Long-lasting pain control.
• Reduced need for frequent dosing.

At the cellular level, ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are substances that cause pain and inflammation. By reducing the levels of these chemicals, Advil 12 Hour effectively alleviates pain and reduces swelling.
