Advil Allergy and Congestion Relief

See Drug Facts

Advil Allergy & Congestion Relief treats your toughest allergy symptoms—including nasal congestion. Most adult allergy relief medicines don’t do that. The ibuprofen in Advil is combined with an antihistamine and a decongestant to help relieve upper respiratory symptoms associated with adult allergies like sinus pain, pressure and congestion.

Advil Allergy & Congestion Relief treats your multi-symptom sinus and allergy needs with just one tablet by combining the power of Advil and a proven decongestant to reduce swelling due to sinus pressure and nasal congestion, plus an effective antihistamine to relieve sneezing, runny nose and your other allergy symptoms.

Take on all your tough allergy symptoms with Advil Allergy & Congestion Relief.
