Advil Ibuprofen Tablets Review

Like many people, I call Ibuprophen Advil! The only difference, is one is generic, which makes it much, much cheaper than the brand name. In April, I had my seventh spinal surgery, so I know a bit about pain. My medicine drawer has quite a street value, with all the narcotics I have in there. I'm here to tell you...Ibuprophen works so much better than they do. The narcotics aren't anti-inflamitory, while Ibuprophen is. Over the past several years, I have known many people with chronic back pain, and each of us has said we prefer Ibuprophen over narcotics. IV narcotics are a different story; I'm only referring to oral meds such as Vicodin, Norco and all the others that are out there. Ibuprophen is also best for reducing fevers. Children's Ibuprophen is best for reducing fever in anyone too young to take the adult sized dose Ibuprophen. Remember, we don't give aspirin to anyone under the age of eighteen because of Reye's syndrome! It also isn't as hard on the stomach as aspirin is.

A word of caution! Never exceed the recommended dose of Ibuprophen. Many of us think "if two is good, four must be better"! That kind of thinking is what has caused so many people to develope liver failure! It doesn't take much over the recommended dose to start causing liver damage. It's a wonderful and safe drug, when taken as the label says.

Whether you call it Advil or Ibuprophen, doesn't matter. Just don't pay extra for the name brand!
