Advil Extra Strength Liqui-Gels Ibuprofen 400mg – 12 Capsules

What are Advil Extra Strength Liqui-Gels Used For?

Targeted Pain Relief

Advil Extra Strength Liqui-Gels are designed to provide fast and effective relief from various types of pain. Each liquid-filled capsule contains 400mg of ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its pain-relieving and fever-reducing properties.

• Headaches, including migraine pain
• Muscle aches and strains
• Back pain
• Menstrual cramps
• Minor pain associated with arthritis

Advil Extra Strength provides a higher dose of ibuprofen compared to regular strength Advil, making it suitable for more intense pain. Its liquid-filled capsules are designed for quicker absorption, which can provide relief faster.

Key Features and Advantages

Fast-Acting Liquid-Filled Capsules

The primary advantage of Advil Extra Strength Liqui-Gels is their quick action. The liquid-filled capsules are designed to be absorbed more rapidly than standard tablets. This results in faster pain relief.

• Liquid-Fast® Formula: This formula allows the medication to be released quickly.
• Extra Strength: Contains 400mg of ibuprofen, ensuring effective pain relief.
• Easy to Swallow: The capsule form is easy to ingest with a glass of water.

Compared to standard Advil tablets, Liqui-Gels often provide relief in a shorter timeframe. This is because the ibuprofen is already in a liquid form within the capsule, allowing for faster absorption through the digestive system. This can be particularly beneficial when dealing with sudden or severe pain.
