Nothing really as far as how they work. It is the dose you need to know about not the type of pill. They are just shaped different.

Do Advil pm liquid gel caps work faster than Advil tablets?
Just today I did an experiment for my chemistry class testing the rates at which Advil tablets, caplets, gel caplets, and Liquid-gels dissolve in simulated stomach acid. I used diluted Hydrochloric acid to simulate the stomach acid. I assume in water each will take longer to dissolve, but they will still dissolve in the same order.In the acid, Caplets and Tablets both opened completely and were a fine powder on the bottom of the container after 10 minutes.After 30 minutes, the Liquid-gel had gotten soft and the contents leaked out from two spots. It took over an hour and a half for all of the contents to leave the gel coating.The Gel Caplets I really recommend taking only if the three above are not available. After and hour and a half, the coating became soft but was not open anywhere. When I finally removed it from the acid, the coating tore and inside was the ibuprofin powder, completely dry and shaped just like the original pill.So quickest to slowest dissolving rate:Caplets/Tablets, Liquid-Gels, Gel Caplets

Is Advil good for sore muscle relief or not?
When trying to relieve sore muscles, Advil has been proven to be a good effective choice. When comparing Tylenol to Advil for muscle pain and soreness, it is helpful to know the actual difference in ingredients, as both are good choices. He main difference is that Advil has anti-inflammatory properties, whereas aspirin does not. Advil also lasts around 12 hours, which makes it a long-lasting and trusted choice for sore muscles.
Is there a difference between Advil and generic ibuprofen?
They may have different dyes and fillers in the tablets, so a person could be allergic to one and not the other. An allergy to Advil is probably more likely, since the tablets are colored in an effort to make them look distinct and generic tablets are often not colored. Included in Advil's coating is a small amount of sugar to make them taste better initially. A brand-name medication holds the patent on a medication, which means several years of exclusive sales without generic sales possible. Drugs which have generic equivalents have been out on the market for many years (according to drug patent laws) before its generic equivalent can be legally sold. The goal of companies manufacturing generic medications is to outsell the brand name, which leads to cutting costs by using simpler packaging, cheaper medication filler, and avoiding advertising. Advil costs more, and it almost always makes sense to buy the generic instead. There have been cases when people have been allergic to the filler used in the brand or generic drugs, but people will sometimes exclusively request brand name at pharmacies because they think it is better.
