Overview Of Ibuprofen (Advil)

How To Use And Uncommon Uses

Doctors could sometimes prescribe Advil for certain patients on an 'off-label' basis. It is used in this manner for the treatment of pain from fibromyalgia, and it might be recommended in cases of gout, chronic fatigue syndrome, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Another off-label, uncommon use of this medicine is for the treatment of chronic back pain that is not the result of osteoarthritis. To use ibuprofen in liquid form, shake the liquid well before measuring the dose with the provided dosing syringe, spoon, or cup. Chewable tablets should be chewed before being swallowed. This medicine should be stored at room temperature and kept away from moisture and heat. Generally, Advil is used as needed, and patients are often not on a dosing schedule. Individuals placed on a dosing schedule by their physicians should take any missed dose as soon as they remember. However, if it is almost time for their next dose, the missed dose should be skipped, and extra medicine should not be taken to make up for the missed dose.
