Best Answer

Yes. Over-the-counter Advil (or the generic equivalent, ibuprofen) is generally in 200mg doses.

There may be minor non-theraputic differences between Advil and the generic equivalent such as binder or inert ingredients. In rare instances, people can be sensitive to the binder ingredients.
