Corie, age 45	I use it for headaches and muscle aches ... it is great!
Greg, age 36	I’ve been an Advil user for eight years now. Muscle pain, joint pain, headache, whatever hurts – Advil delivers fast relief... Wow, does it work fast!
Karen, age 61	I'm a healthy, active woman who was never bothered by pain until I developed arthritis in my hand. The doctor advised using an NSAID. Since I have a liver condition, I checked the OTC brands’ advisories and found Advil to be safe. Since I am not on any Rx nor do I take any other medications, I was delighted to discover that a single dose of Advil does the job for many hours of pain relief. I could not be more pleased with the performance, safety and effectiveness of this product.
Jonathan, age 43	Advil is a must if you train in any kind of sport. I run track and field, and on days when I overdo it and need relief from aching muscles, I grab my Advil.
Wendy, age 37	I have two one-year-old boxer puppies. Some days after our morning walk, I feel like they have dragged me around by the leash. Advil quickly takes my aches and pains away!
