  Mechanism of Action of Advil Liqui-Gels

  The active ingredient in Advil Liqui-Gels is ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals produced by the body that can cause inflammation, pain, and fever.Specifically, ibuprofen works by blocking the activity of the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. By inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, ibuprofen can reduce the levels of prostaglandins in the body, leading to decreased inflammation, pain, and fever.The liquid-filled capsule formulation of Advil Liqui-Gels is designed for faster absorption compared to standard ibuprofen tablets, allowing the active ingredient to take effect more quickly to provide fast relief of symptoms.
