Advil Dual Action: Advil Dual Action is a new combination pill that went on sale over-the-counter in the US in 2020. Each pill has 125 mg ibuprofen and 250 mg acetaminophen, which means one dose of two pills is 250 mg ibuprofen and 500 mg acetaminophen. Instructions say it can be taken every 8 hours. (Notice that dosing is similar to taking 1 Advil regular pill (200 mg) plus 1 Tylenol extra strength pill (500 mg)).
