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.
