Q: Is this safe to take

submitted by DIMPLES - 1 year ago

  • 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

    submitted byKate - 1 year ago

  • A: Dear Dimples, please note that our product are perfectly safe to take when following the directions outlined on the label. If you want to make sure that the product is the best fit for you, I can always speak to your doctor and local pharmacist.

Q: Is it safe for a person over eighty to advil?

submitted by bduodu - 2 years ago

  • 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.

    submitted byTarget customer - 1 year ago

  • A: Dear, bduodu, please note that for use of Advil dual action by children under 12 years of age, you need to ask a doctor. in each specific case.

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...

submitted by adpicucci - 5 years ago

  • A: I believe it's 2 pills = 500mg acetaminophen and 250mg ibuprofen. 1 pill = 250mg acetaminophen and 125mg ibuprofen.

    submitted byJJ - 5 years ago

  • A: The 500/250 is per dose; a dose is two caps. The 250/125 is per cap.

Very good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bottle is perfect to always carry with you in your wallet. Little saves space and be with you wherever you go. The packaging is perfect. It fulfills its function which is to relieve the simplest pains you have. If you are allergic to something, consult your doctor so that you do not have side effects.

I liked it

This Product helped me with aches I had. I didn’t sick after trying them. The pill wasn’t too big to swallow and it had a sweet taste to it and smell. I would keep using this.

Painful and Dangerous! Stay Away!!!

This product is absolutely terrible and should not be used. I had it on for only three minutes, THREE MINUTES, and it caused extreme burning pain, like jumping into a pool of fire. My skin became severely irritated and rash covered, and the burning would not wash off no matter how much soap I used. I have a very high pain tolerance and regularly use products like Icy Hot, but this is nothing like that. This experience was painful, alarming, and completely unacceptable. There are over 100 negative reviews on Google reporting the same issue. I hope my review prevents you from wasting your money and experiencing this level of burning and pain. Do not buy this product. I do not recommend it under any circumstances.

Good for mild pain, but slow to act and not ideal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked this product, but I feel that the effect takes a little while to kick in. It does help with pain, but it’s not something I would recommend for strong pain that you want to get rid of quickly. For mild to moderate discomfort, it works fine, but if you’re looking for fast and powerful relief, this might not be the best option.

Fast acting

This dual advil has worked miracles in my husband’s injured back. He takes two in the morning and it works for a full 8 hours. He says that his back starts to feel great after an hour of taking the dose. The pills are very easy to swallow. There is no taste from the absorption of the pills. I would definitely recommend this advil dual action.

Relief

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Total Relief When You Need It Most! Advil Dual Action is my go-to for fast, dependable pain relief. The combination of ibuprofen and acetaminophen really does make a difference — it tackles pain from every angle and keeps it away for hours. I’ve used it for headaches, back pain, and even muscle soreness after long days, and it always works quickly without upsetting my stomach. I love that I don’t have to take multiple products anymore — one dose does it all. Highly recommend for anyone who wants powerful relief that actually lasts!

Pain gone--This works and no prescription needed!

I purchased this back when it first hit the market to help hubby combat sciatica pain, and then again a few years later when he experienced severe tooth pain after discovering he had 8 wisdom teeth (average human has 4). This stuff even relieved his pain after he had all 8 wisdom teeth removed and he was only given pain meds for the day of the procedure! We recommend this especially these days when prescribed pain meds are hard to get despite the need after having after various procedures. Works better than the regular Tylenol they want people to take even after major injuries. Remember folks, use responsibly!

Convenient & efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very effective and convenient. It’s a small bottle that I can literally put in my bag for on the go. Regarding the pill it has just a hard texture and no scent. I have been caring a tiny bottle in all my bags. It’s small which I truly appreciate.

I love the travel package!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Advil Dual Action combines ibuprofen and acetaminophen to effectively relieve pain and reduce fever. The scent packaging adds a fresh appearance. The combination of ingredients targets my pain from headaches, toothaches, and even minor arthritis, offering me a quick relief when I need it most. With its dual action, I often find it more effective than single-ingredient options. Plus, the overall value is greater because I am looking for reliable, fast-acting pain relief without breaking my bank account.
