What not just get generic ibuprofen and acetaminophen pills in bulk quantities to save a ton of money over these? I don't get it.

This is a bad take. You're being extremely shortsighted on why these exist.

These are designed to metabolize safely and can be taken over longer periods of time than a typical generic acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

Taking separate medicines offers no guarantee that both will metabolize at the same rate, which often results in negative effects like stomach pain. Depending on the frequency of dosage, you could also end up overdosing if both medicines haven't run their course. Even when prescribed, there's a requirement of taking medicines with the same composition. For instance, you can't mix a rapid release gel tab with a standard tablet and expect them to fully overlap.

There's also a matter of convenience and safety in having both medicines in one bottle with correct labeling. You can create the same convenience by mixing pills into one bottle, but you lose out on the safety aspect.

I'm not saying you can't take two separate medicines responsibly and feel like you're getting the same effect, but with all the adverse effects it can have, you aren't any smarter for doing so.

That's the per capsule dosage, yes.

Why Amazon is listing the recommended adult dosage in the title is beyond me, but they aren't the only ones.

I've tried 3 different generics and they didn't work. Two gave me headaches and one caused an upset stomach. Tried each of them twice with repeated experiences. They clearly have more things in them than their active ingredients.

A single bottle of advil would last me well over a year so the savings aren't that big of a deal. It's the allergy medicine that I was really hoping to save on. And again. I found a spray that worked that had the same active ingredients of the 2 that didn't.

Yeah, I guess if you are stuck with a sensitive system then you have little choice. My wife has a whole host of health issues, so we go through a fair amount of this stuff and I guess I should be glad she doesn't have a problem with the generics of these. Sorry you have to deal with that, but I'm glad you don't need them as often. Thanks for the reply.

Don't forget if you have FSA that this qualifies as well, however they may ask for a receipt verification since it doesn't say FSA/HSA eligible

Totally agree, especially since these are low dose. I'd just take two ibuprofen and two acetaminophen for a fraction of the cost.

Bonus deal - Add any eligible item that's $14+ ($30+ total) and get a $10 discount on total purchase. Added preworkout which will lead to the back pain hence justification for this Advil purchase.

Yup. It's just a relabelling of existing products to confuse the Great Unwashed. You can do the same by buying huge quantities of generic stuff at Costco or Sams and combining intake, or even at the dollar store.

This works much better, but it's only available on the shelf in the Great White North:

Methocarbamol is a prescription here.

Exactly. In addition to being much cheaper to "mix your own", it also gives you flexibility to adjust your dosage for your situation. (Everyone should make sure to research dosing and combinations through a reliable website or by contacting a pharmacist first.)
