What is the bioavailability of Advil gel caps vs their regular pill?

While I am not intimate with the raw data for this, you can be certain that a major pharmaceutical firm would not provide pills or gel caps at the identical dose unless there were certainty that the two are equally bioavailable. ---- In fact, the difference is in pharmacokinetics.. Liquigel are absorbed 10 minutes faster than regular ones.. this means an absorption in 15-20 minutes instead of 25-30 minutes. This 10 minutes is not very important... but in migraines.. every minute counts! ---- I am intimate with the raw data. The big issue is is your stomach affected by Advil? Advil tablets are designed not to dissolve until they reach the intestine. This resolves stomach issues. Although people taking broken or chipped tablets can get around this unknowingly. The Liquid Gel Advil designed by Robert Dicianni, and George Van Parys along with Banner Pharmacaps our the originators of the liquid gel concept.

THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO. Ibuprofen (Advil) is an over the counter pain killer and anti-inflammatory.

One will not "neutralize" the other. There are no warinings about taking them together. If you are concerned, ask your pharmacist to give you a print-out of each medication. Pharmacists are a good place to look for possible drug-drug interactions.

You have had Ice on your lip and taken ibuprofen to make the swelling go down its still swollen after being pierced almost a week what should you do?

Chances are really good that you are, eating, drinking, smoking and or using the wrong product for cleaning and caring for your lip piercing. Foods, beverages and some cleaning products can infact cause swelling of body piercings, this varies from person to person. What works for one person may not work for you. Over cleaning can also lead to swelling, your body needs to "do it's thing" in order to heal a piercing, over cleaning can actually irritate tissue that is trying to heal and promote swelling. Phone your Piercer or better yet go down and see him/her and be truthful when you talk to them, we can see through the lines of misinformation. If your piercer is good they will spend the time to help you out and fix what ever is wrong with the aftercare routeen. Good Luck

Does Ibuprofen cause dehydration?

personal experience

i had a high fever, headaches, joint/muscle pain, swollen throat/glands.

i was taking ibuprofen for 2 days straight, i was taking 2 every 4 hours.

then on the second night the pain in my throat got worse so on my last lot of ibuprofen i took 3 instead of 2 which isn't usually a problem.

but then in the middle of the night i woke up dehydrated, then when i had a glass of water i was dehydrated again 5 minutes later and my throat and mouth felt like cotton. so i had another glass of water and so on... only after my 5th glass did it calm down enough for me to sleep. i waited 12 hours and then started taking paracetamol instead but i was a lot more careful with them, they did not dehydrate me but they are not as effective (pain relief wise) as ibuprofen.

so yes, i do think that ibuprofen does cause dehydration.

That depends on why you were told not to take aspirin. If it's because you are having surgery soon, then no, you should not take ibuprofen, or any other NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) meds. These drugs thin the blood, therefore resulting in possible excessive bleeding during surgery.

It's always best to ask your doctor if you are unsure.

Advil is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for pain relief, while Zyrtec is an antihistamine used for allergy relief.
