Efficacy
Safety

Advil® has a favorable safety profile*
As with any medication, there are risks associated with the use of ibuprofen. However, research has shown that ibuprofen at OTC doses has a proven overall safety profile. A recent review confirmed that at OTC doses, ibuprofen has a low incidence of serious gastrointestinal (GI) events and minimal risk of causing renal and associated cardiovascular events, among others.6
Also, when used as directed, ibuprofen 400 mg has a favorable GI safety profile. There is a dose relationship with risk for adverse events with ibuprofen and other NSAIDs, which are generally well tolerated at lower OTC doses.6,17,18
