Advil. The Pain Reliever for Fast, Strong Pain Relief.

This is the most current labeling information, and may differ from labels on product packaging. If there are any differences between this website labeling and product package labeling, this website labeling should be regarded as the most current.

The FDA has approved enhanced warning labels for all over the counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug analgesics (NSAID), including all Advil® products. These new labels will provide consumers with more information about potential cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and allergic risks.

Products with revised labels should be in stores by late 2006. In the meantime, we have posted the revised label on this Web site. We continue to work with the FDA to ensure the effective labeling of our products.

Wyeth Consumer Healthcare stands firmly behind the safety and effectiveness of Advil®. However, we encourage all consumers to read the new, enhanced Advil® labeling, with special attention to the Warnings. All drugs, including those without a prescription, must be used according to their directions to be safe and effective.
