  Mechanism of action                                                                                                                              The mechanism of action of ibuprofen (the active ingredient in Advil Extra Strength Liquid Gels) is related to decreasing prostaglandin synthesis. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can reduce the chemicals produced by your body which cause pain and inflammation.Specifically, ibuprofen works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX), an enzyme responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that play a role in the inflammatory response and the perception of pain. By blocking COX and reducing prostaglandin synthesis, ibuprofen helps alleviate inflammation and pain.The liquid gel formulation of Advil Extra Strength allows the ibuprofen to be quickly absorbed into the body and target pain at the site of inflammation. This results in fast-acting relief, with Advil Liqui-Gels starting to work within 30 minutes to provide up to 8 hours of pain relief per dose.

  Increased Risk of Heart Failure

  • People with type 2 diabetes who take ibuprofen and other NSAIDs have an increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure, especially in the first 28 days after starting the medication.
  • The risk is highest in those over 65, with uncontrolled diabetes, or who are new or infrequent users of NSAIDs.

  Potential Hypoglycemic Effect

  • There is some evidence that ibuprofen may potentially cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals.
  • One study found a significant decrease in blood glucose levels at higher doses of ibuprofen compared to lower doses.

  Recommendations

  • Short-term use of NSAIDs may be safer for those under 65 with well-managed diabetes.
  • Patients should consult their doctor before starting any new medication, including over-the-counter NSAIDs.
  • Doctors should consider the increased risk of heart failure when prescribing NSAIDs to patients with type 2 diabetes.
