Is it safe to take advil (ibuprofen) 1 hour after taking ibprofin 800mg? bad toothace
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Advil and ibuprofen are the same thing. Advil is one of the brand names for ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is the generic name. Doses should be 6 to 8 hours apart. A patient with a tooth ache should ask his dentist about pain medication. Some people say their pain is helped by taking a dose of Tylenol (acetaminophen) (acetominophen) between Advil (ibuprofen) doses.
