No, it is not candy. The coating is also found on aspirin and some other medications. It is called an enteric coating. It is put on certain medications to reduce their harsh effects on the stomach lining. There is more to it than just a sweet taste.

What is the compound name for Advil?
Advil is simply Ibuprofen in a candy coated shell...
Why do they put a coating on Advil?
The Advil coating is NOT enteric coated. Enteric coating is used on certain medications, most notably NSAIDS (naproxen, acetylsalicylic acid/aspirin) so the release of the contents does not occur until it has reached your small intestine and thus reduces the stomach pains associated with NSAIDS. The Advil coating makes them easier to swallow and taste better, but it is not a formal enteric coating. If it was, trust in the fact marketing would highlight this and claim Advil has an advantage over other ibuprofen based products.
Is there a difference between Advil and ibuprofen?
Not really. While its candy coating is alluring on the surface, Advil is simply a brand name; its active ingredient is ibuprofen, a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Advil might contain slightly different additives than a generic ibuprofen—if you’re curious about this, consult your pharmacy—but both should be equally effective at treating your symptoms.
Every time you take Advil you get stuffed up and sneeze are you allergic to the coating?
You could be allergic to the coating and you could also be allergic to Advil. You should try another pain reliever so you don't have these symptoms.
