After taking Advil, the time it takes for relief can vary depending on the individual and the specific condition being treated. Generally, Advil (ibuprofen) begins to work within 20-30 minutes when taken orally, reaching its peak effect in 1-2 hours [1]. However, it's important to note that this can vary based on factors such as the severity of pain, the individual's metabolism, and the presence of other medications in the system.

It's also worth mentioning that while Advil can provide temporary relief, it doesn't cure the underlying condition. If symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen, it's recommended to seek medical attention [2].

Remember, it's crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by a healthcare professional or as indicated on the packaging. Misuse of pain relievers can lead to serious side effects and potential health risks [3].
