Advil

Advil is a brand name for the medication ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It helps reduce pain, inflammation, and fever by blocking certain enzymes in the body that produce prostaglandins—chemicals involved in the pain and inflammation process. Commonly used for headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, and other minor pains, Advil is available over the counter. While effective, it should be used as directed, and caution is advised for individuals with certain health conditions or those taking other medications, as it may cause side effects such as stomach irritation or increased cardiovascular risk.
