I actually find Advil can be a lot cheaper than other brands. Sure, at regular price they are a tad bit pricier, but if you buy them with coupons and / or on sale they can be a lot cheaper than generic brands.
They are the only OTC painkillers I use. They are versatile. Advil Migraine can be used for knee pain, etcetera.
Advil cures my migraines, and other pains, in a good amount of time (sometimes less than fifteen minutes). They don't make me too nauseous. They are incredibly easy to swallow dry or with liquids. Plus, they're not as large as other pills can be.
These pain killers work well, but the price is outrageous. Considering that Advil is simply ibuprofen in a fancy package and capsule, I'd rather spend less money and get an absolutely massive bottle of generic ibuprofen at Costco which will last me for 2 years. These little bottles of Advil, even the so-called 'large' ones, last a very short time. When we were buying them, we were constantly having to replenish our supply.
Do they work? Yes. And they work well. Menstrual cramps, headaches, migraines (if you catch them when they first SPROUT their ugly horns), joint pain, toothaches, sore back, strained muscles, etc. But I don't notice them being any more effective than my Kirkland brand ibuprofen that I bought at Costco. I also question using pharmaceuticals all the time rather than natural means of killing and easing pain, such as aromatherapy oils, acupuncture, homeopathy, etc. In the end, all products like this - generic or brand name - just mask the pain. They don't fix the problem causing the pain. Personally, I prefer to get to the root of the problem and kill it then and there so it never returns.
Would I buy these again? No. Far too expensive, and as I said, my generic ibuprofen work just as well. I also see my homeopath and acupuncturist when I have pain that is recurring and of the same type. Medicines like this are a killer on the liver, my friends.
The first time I tried Advil Liqui-Gels was at a friend's house, I had the WORST cramps I've ever had and she gave me 2 Advil Liqui-Gels. In literally 15 minutes my cramps were gone!
I have been buying these ever since.
They work amazing on cramps, headaches, and bodily pains (I've even used it on sore throats before :) )
I definitely recommend these to everyone, they're the best pain-relievers out there!
If you want fast pain relief, then the Advil Liqui-Gels are wonderful. I actually purchased these by mistake. I had wanted to purchase another brand with similar green packaging, but ended up realizing I had taken this one instead. What a good mistake! These work in a matter or 10 minutes and have relieved some major pain including menstrual cramps, headaches, back pain and toothaches (no... I did not have them all at once!) The individual capsules are a little big in size, which had me worried at first, since I do have a hard time swallowing these types of pills. However, it's smooth exterior made it very easy to do so. You also get a good amount in every bottle and is rather easy to open (just remember to keep it away from the reach of children!). I'm very pleased with this and won't go crazy having to choose the proper pain relief medicine again.
I have a phobia of swallowing pills; but these are easy to swallow and actually work very quickly!!!
I get migraines, just before my period. I take Advil and it totally helps! along with a little sleep if able to get that in. You do have to take it at the first sign of a migraine, other wise you will have to take a few doses. If taken early, I find I don't need to take more 4 hours later.
I take it for the rare minor headache too.
Nothing else works for me!
I get tension headaches and I find this didn't even touch my headache.Though a good named product,it didn't work well with me.
