Advil

Advil is a drug consisting of a chemical called Ibuprofen, and is used to reduce inflammation and pain due to many factors in the body. This drug comes in the category of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Advil/Ibuprofen is being manufactured by Wyeth Consumer Healthcare.

What are the major disorders for which Advil may be Used?

Advil/Ibuprofen is a very commonly used drug for the treatment of pain and inflammation in the joints and the body.

Advil/Ibuprofen belongs to a category of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which are used for relievin pain and swelling (inflammation). Advil/Ibuprofen is used for the treatment of headaches, muscle aches, backaches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, arthritis, or athletic injuries. Basically Advil/Ibuprofen is used for the treatment of all kinds of pain in the body. Along with this Advil/Ibuprofen may also be used for reducing fever and to relieve minor aches and pain due to the common cold or flu.

Inflammation is a process in which the body's white blood cells and chemicals can protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses. In some diseases, however, the body's defense system (immune system) triggers an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off. In these diseases, called autoimmune diseases, the body's normally protective immune system causes damage to its own tissues. The body responds as if normal tissues are infected or somehow abnormal. Arthritis is a general term that describes inflammation in joints.

Other painful conditions of the joints and musculoskeletal system that are not associated with inflammation include osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, muscular low back pain and muscular neck pain.Inflammation is characterized by Redness, Swollen joint, Joint pain, Joint stiffness, Loss of joint function, etc.

Pain is one of the most common reasons that people seek medical attention. In pain disorder, the suffering is so severe that it impairs a person's ability to function. Furthermore, the pain itself is also related to psychological factors, such as stress or unconscious conflict. Individuals with this illness may have other medical problems, though these fail to account fully for the pain.

Advil/Ibuprofen is used to relieve the pain, tenderness, inflammation (swelling), and stiffness caused by arthritis and gout.

How Advil works?

Advil/Ibuprofen works by reducing the production of certain substances (called prostaglandins). This is a substance that is produced by the body and it helps in controlling some functions. It helps in muscle contraction, inflammation, and numerous other body processes. Advil/Ibuprofen works by blocking the enzyme in the body that makes prostaglandins. Hence, Advil/Ibuprofen helps to reduce pain, swelling, and fever.

To be more specific, Advil/Ibuprofen works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of various chemicals in the body, some of which are known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced in response to injury or certain diseases and would otherwise go on to cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Ibuprofen is therefore used to relieve pain and inflammation.

All the medicines in this group (NSAIDs) reduce inflammation caused by the body's own immune system, and are effective pain killers. Ibuprofen can be used to relieve pain such as muscular aches and pains, period pains, headache, backache, rheumatic pain, dental pain and neuralgia. It can also reduce feverishness and the symptoms of colds and flu.
