Advil Liqui-Gels (ibuprofen) for Period Pain "I have awful menstrual pain, and if I don't do anything about it, I lie in bed all day, vomiting and writhing in pain. Advil Liqui-Gels are the only medication that totally relieve my pain, and it does so within minutes! Without Advil Liqui-Gels, I wouldn't be able to function and would need to take time off work. Thank you, Advil Liqui-Gels, you are my savior!"

Advil Liqui-Gels (ibuprofen) for Period Pain "I've had extremely painful menstrual cramps since I started my period. After having it checked and prescribed many different pain relievers by doctors, I finally tried Advil Liqui-Gel capsules and it's definitely the only one that's worked. Mind you, the cramps were so bad I couldn't move from the bed for the first 2 days, vomiting, couldn't get sleep, and back pain. This has become a lot less now for the past 3 months since I've been taking Liqui-Gels."

For Fever "My son is sick with influenza B. Last night his fever skyrocketed above 104, he vomited, wouldn't move, eat, or talk. I was terrified. I called the doctor, and he recommended children's ibuprofen. Within an hour of taking it, he was asleep. I give it every 6 hours, and today he is 100 percent better, playing and even eating. I can't believe how well it works!"

For Pain "I was told to take ibuprofen every day for neck pain. Well, after 5 days, I got the most painful stomach pains and vomiting and got taken to the hospital, where they said don’t take it anymore as it can strip your stomach lining! I had developed acute gastritis from it and was extremely sick and uncomfortable for 5 days and put on a proton pump inhibitor to heal my stomach lining. I will never take an NSAID again if I can help it, what a nightmare!"
