I am never, ever without Advil Liqui-gels because I have chronic migraines. I do take a prescription preventive medication but, with the longer growing season due to higher overall temperatures and then storms that are more frequent and severe than they were when I was in my teens, my migraines worsened. My migraines are tied to the weather, to dewpoint, to fluctuations in barometric pressure so there is no real way to avoid those triggers. At the first hint of a migraine, I immediately take 2 Advil Liqui-gels. I never leave home without something like peanut butter crackers and never without water so I can take Advil if a migraine strikes when I'm out. I never take Advil without food or without having had a very recent meal. Please, please read about NSAIDs. Ibuprofen (generic term for Advil) is an NSAID. Protecting your upper digestive system is important. It's also critically important that you do not exceed the amount of doses listed in the warnings on the box. If you are dealing with any kind of headache, pulled muscle or anything else which might require several doses, my suggestion is to document in your phone's calendar or memo when you take a dose. This will reduce the possibility that you'll exceed the maximum dose. Never assume that OTC (over the counter) medications are without side effects as that is absolutely not true. Advil, like other NSAIDs should not be taken prior to surgery as they make bleeding more likely. Also, very important is not to ever give Advil to a child unless it is Advil specifically for children. The dose is different.After all of that, how Advil is a must-keep-with-me when I go out in case a migraine occurs and then the warnings and suggestions (again, please read about possible side effects in case you have one including an allergic reaction to an ingredient), let me get to the mini version of the Liqui-gels. These are like a gift to me. When I have a migraine, part of that (for me) involves nausea. Having to take larger pills can make my nausea worse. So, these much smaller pills help mitigate nausea that would normally get worse from trying to swallow the bigger Liqui-gels. From a logistical standpoint, I can carry more doses of the minis in my purse's pill case than I can of the original Liqui-gel size.I hope my review helps anyone who reads it. Just remember, OTC medications like Advil Liqui-gels Minis are still very real medications with benefits and side effects and possible interactions with other OTC meds and prescription meds. And when you see your doctor and they ask you what medications you take, be sure to tell them that you're taking or have taken Advil if you've taken it within at least the prior week and/or have taken it more frequently. The doctor needs to look for interactions, any impact on labwork and possibly when scheduling medical tests or procedures.

It's great when you want an analgesic in order for the pain to go away but also need an anti-inflammatory.

These gel tabs are heat sensitive. Left in my mailbox yesterday but 90° weather resulted in a melted blob stuck in the container. No one’s fault but Mother Nature but thought you should know. Love this product. Works quickly and no stomach upset.

I do miss the Ibuprofen Sodium tablets. I personally feel that Advil knocked it out of the park with these. There are certain situations where speed is key.For many years I've had a situation where if I move or touch my face in a certain way, half of my head immediately feel like it's on fire. There will be intense pain if I turn my head, touch that side of my face, or try to open my mouth. Even the water droplets from the shower hitting my face are incredibly painful.Once it starts it can last days or even weeks, but over time I've figured out how to deal with it. It seems like once it starts, the inflammation itself causes the pain and you end up with a feedback loop. Something happens that causes pain and inflammation, but that inflammation puts pressure on whatever triggered the inflammation in the first place.I've found that what works best for me is to immediately take two of these Ibuprofen Sodium tablets, then get that side of my face cool. That might be running cold water on it, or even cold air. driving with the windows down when it's 50 degrees outside can even be enough sometimes. The sooner you can stop the inflammation, the sooner you can stop the feedback loop. If you act fast enough, it can all be over in under 30 minutes instead of several days.When I found out they were discontinuing the product, I stocked up. I now only use it for that specific purpose. I haven't found anything else that works better. Regular Advil is fine for everything else.
