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?

The difference is mostly marketing and sometimes dosage.
Medicine marketing (especially the stuff you don’t need to ask a pharmacist for) is about solving a problem for the customer. So there’s an advantage to telling the customer “This problem you have, we can fix it”. The problem comes in if you charge differently for the exact same formulation in different packaging.
But sometimes they vary the dosage. So myprodol comes in a “period pain” formula, that is more concentrated than their regular formula. And pediatric formulations will have lower dosage and different additives.
