Products containing ibuprofen in the Advil Cold & Sinus line will not only treat pain, but also address symptom relief with an effective decongestant.

Advil Cold & Sinus provides proven pain relief, with an added decongestant that reopens airways and allows the cold-sufferer to breathe easier.

Headaches are among the most common minor health problems. Tension headaches, which are the most common, account for 90% of all headaches.
