Q: What is the difference between this Advil duel action “back pain relief” and the normal Advil duel action?

submitted by MEJ - 4 months ago
  • A: I suspect what the “brand expert” answered is that they’re the same, it’s just a marketing thing

    submitted byKate - 3 months ago
  • A: Great question! Advil Dual Action Back Pain has the same formula as Advil Dual Action. Both products are FDA approved and combine two of the leading pain relievers (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) recommended in expert guidelines for the treatment of back pain. Advil Dual Action Back Pain was introduced to highlight this pain condition as a new treatment option.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dual action Advil back pain takes the power of combining acetaminophen and ibuprofen and puts it in one convenient pill. This is great for people who dislike taking multiple pills. It's been my go to for a while to relieve all types of pain,not just back pain.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had some annoying lower back pain, and after taking two caplets, I started feeling relief in about 30 minutes. It kept the pain away for a good chunk of the day—probably close to the 8 hours they promise.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I tried Advil Dual Action Back Pain when my back was killing me after moving some furniture. It's got ibuprofen and acetaminophen, so it's like a double whammy for pain. It actually worked pretty well – the pain eased up faster than when I just take regular ibuprofen.

No grogginess or stomach issues either. Definitely my go-to for relief. The packaging is good, it’s definitely worth the purchase. Great durability.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was actually blown away at how well the Advil Dual Action Back Pain worked on my pain. The package says for back pain, but at the time I received this product, I had a terrible toothache. Usually, I would have to take multiple doses to get rid of the pain, but with this Advil, I was able to take only two tablets, and the pain was gone within 15 minutes. I am so impressed that I will be recommending this to all my friends and posting online how great it works. My husband has terrible back pain, and he also got excellent relief from the use of Advil Dual Action Back Pain. This product is amazing, plain and simple.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Advil Dual Action pain medication works well! It’s a mix of acetaminophen and ibuprofen so it targets inflammation and stops the pain signals. Although effective, the medication is slightly pricey, but it may be worth it to house and take one tablet instead of two.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Husband is used to using Aleve products to eliminate his back pain which stems from an old injury. So he tried this product and was happy to report to me that it was just as effective at treating the pain and also gentler on his stomach. He’s happy to have found this product.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have issues with back pain and this helps more that Tylenol and ibuprofen for me personally . Not expensive and a good childproof bottle . Used this the day after a work out where neck and shoulder muscle cramps gave me a low headaches. In about half an hour , it starter working and relieved both, to varying degrees. Most of the headache was gone and about 80% of the muscle aches . These were effective and fast acting. I appreciate the purse friendly packaging. The ingredients are fair dosages and the value is far aswell .
