Children’s Advil has an excellent safety profile when used as directed1-4
A meta-analysis of 24 randomized clinical trials in pediatric subjects concluded that ibuprofen has a proven tolerability and safety profile comparable to placebo in terms of gastrointestinal symptoms, asthma, and renal adverse events.2
In a large, randomized, double-blind trial, it was shown that in short-term use of ibuprofen in children, there was a low risk of hospitalization for renal failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, or anaphylaxis (N=84,192).5
The follow-up period of an actual-use trial that included nearly 25,000 pediatric patients (approximately 13,800 of whom received ibuprofen) showed that less than 1% of pediatric patients treated with Children’s Advil experienced any of the most frequently reported adverse events identified in the trial, which are listed in the table below.4
This trial was a national, multicenter, observational study conducted in a naturalistic outpatient pediatric setting to evaluate the experience with Children’s Advil in children with fever and pain.4
Common adverse events in pediatric patients taking ibuprofen4
Children’s Advil has a wide margin of safety and a low potential for toxicity from overdose as demonstrated in several studies.6,7
Children’s Advil brings fever down faster and keeps it down longer than Children’s Tylenol4,8*†
Nothing reduces fever faster* or keeps it down longer than Children’s Advil®—up to 8 hours of fever relief and nothing has been proven better on fever, not even Children’s Motrin®.4,9*†
Additionally, Children’s Advil provides more effective fever control with less frequent dosing (every 6-8 hours) than Children’s Tylenol® (as labeled, every 4 hours).4,8
Studies demonstrated that in pediatric patients, ibuprofen provided faster and longer fever reduction than acetaminophen.4,8*

Fever reduction with Children’s Advil vs Children’s Tylenol4
Efficacy results from a double-blind, single-dose, parallel-group study comparing the antipyretic efficacy and safety of ibuprofen pediatric suspension and acetaminophen in children with fever (N=160).4
Statistically fewer treatment failures with ibuprofen vs acetaminophen at 4 and 6 hours after initial dose.4‡
‡Treatment failure was defined as an increase in temperature of 1°F above the baseline temperature or an absolute temperature of greater than 104.9°F rectally or 103.9°F orally at any time during the postdosing follow-up period, or if there was no evidence of drug effect any time after the 2-hour postdosing time point.
