: What are the differences between general Advil and Advil targeted towards specific pain relief?

461 views

When looking at Advil I have noticed that there are multiple variations targeting specific pain points. For example; *Advil Arthritis Pain, Advil Muscle & Joint or, Advil Paediatric Drops, Advil Paediatric Drops Fever from Colds or Flu*.

Doesn’t Advil spread evenly throughout the body and **only** work on areas associated with inflammation?

Often times there is little to no difference in the medications. Excedrin and Excedrin Migraine have the same active ingredients but Excedrin Migraine contains a pamphlet about migraines. Advil Arthritis has a bottle that is supposed to be easier to open for people with arthritis.

Advil Cold and Flu has additional active ingredients besides Advil. Always pay attention to active ingredients so you don’t take too much of the same type of medication. Edit: I misread and that one you mentioned may only be ibuprofen, But Advil Cold and Flu does have other ingredients.

Pediatric versions of medicine may be liquid or chewable to make it easier for children to take and be of lesser strength.
