Etymology

The name 'Advil' was derived from merging the word 'advanced' with 'vil', suggesting an advanced form of pain relief. Advil was developed in the late 1960s and was introduced to the market in 1984 by the pharmaceutical company Upjohn, which is now part of Pfizer. The active ingredient in Advil, ibuprofen, was discovered in the 1960s by a team of researchers in the UK, led by Dr. Stewart Adams. The drug was originally intended for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and was eventually made available for over-the-counter use, becoming one of the most widely used pain relievers worldwide. Today, Advil is recognized globally as a go-to solution for headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, arthritis, and menstrual cramps.
