I've tried a lot of generic ibuprofen meds (E: including gel ones) but nothing acts both as fast and effectively as advil gel pills. It very well may be a placebo, but I don't really care so long as it works.
I think that's just them being gel. There are generic gel pills that in my experience work just as fast.
Most places have a generic gel version. It's literally the same thing, so it's worth saving the money.
But of course, you do you.
Can agree with the gel pills. I still do go for the normal compacted powder pills if I'm not doing much, but for a faster set-in the advil gel works the fastest.
