Advil is a popular brand of ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) developed the research team of Stewart Adams and John Nicholson at Boots UK Limited, a pharmacy chain in Nottingham, England. Initially marketed as Brufen, ibuprofen under the Advil brand is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headache, dental pain, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, and arthritis.

In 1984, American Home Products, now known as Wyeth, acquired rights, introducing Advil in the US. Pfizer later acquired Wyeth in 2009, bringing Advil under its extensive portfolio. The brand expanded globally, diversifying its product line to cater to various pain relief needs. Over the years, production techniques advanced, ensuring higher quality and safety. Despite ownership changes, Advil maintained its reputation as a trusted pain reliever worldwide.
