Is there a difference in effectiveness between advil and generic ibuprofen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Usually, generic medications are as effective as the branded counterparts. But, it depends, sometimes, people react better to the brand name version. So, you can try both and see how each works.
