Advil Ibuprofen 200mg Coated Tablets in the 100-count bottle is an over-the-counter medication formulated to provide temporary relief from minor aches, pains, and inflammation while also acting as a fever reducer. As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, the active ingredient ibuprofen works at the chemical level by temporarily blocking the body's production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are natural compounds triggered by illness or physical injury that directly cause pain, swelling, and fever signals. By inhibiting these enzymes, Advil helps lower discomfort and reduces elevated body temperatures. The tablets feature a smooth, sweet coating that helps mask the bitter taste of the active medicine and makes the round shape easier to swallow.
