Q&A(8)
Q: Is this safe to take
A: Check out pubmed articles. This is safe to take, the two meds are processed through different organs (kidney vs liver) and work on different ways to relieve pain: basically inflammation and nerve pain which are often the two ways pain affects you when you have tooth pain or back/neck pain, in fact it’s this combo that’s replacing opioid use for pain in many circumstances…both of the medications can take their toll on your body if taken for too long so if the pain persists then go to a dr…no, I’m not a doctor but I have chronic pain conditions as does one of my kids so I see a lot of specialists and do a lot of research

Q: Is it safe for a person over eighty to advil?
A: The description at the top of page is mis-leading. As the product information below states 250 acetaminophen and 500 ibuprofen per capsule. A far cry from 125. Will call Mfg to confirm.

Q: The description states 500mg acetaminophen and 250mg ibuprofen. The actual pill bottle shown in the images (7th image) states 250mg acetaminophen and 125mg ibuprofen. This is a BIG DIFFERENCE...double the amount of medicine...
A: I believe it's 2 pills = 500mg acetaminophen and 250mg ibuprofen. 1 pill = 250mg acetaminophen and 125mg ibuprofen.
submitted byJJ - 5 years agoA: The 500/250 is per dose; a dose is two caps. The 250/125 is per cap.
