"This medicine has been a miracle for me when I have cramps. It takes a while to work (40-45 mins), but once it does, I feel much better."

Ibuprofen "The pain was in my back for some odd reason instead of my stomach, and it was gone about 20-30 minutes after I took the Advil. I could feel nothing for about two hours."

Ibuprofen "I have taken Midol, Advil, but none compare to Motrin IB. It worked within the first five minutes of me taking it. Great for instant relief, and lasts quite a while."

Ibuprofen "I suffer from PCOS and endometriosis. Advil Liqui-Gels is the only medication that can make my pain bearable. I have tried multiple medications, but nothing like Advil for my period!"

"I always use it, and sometimes it is good as a pain reliever, but sometimes it does not work or has little effect. I'm worried about the effect that it really causes sudden death."

"What a difference ibuprofen made for my period problems of pain, volume, and discomfort. It also helped with exhaustion by lessening blood loss. I wish I would have tried this years ago."
