They're both Ibuprofen. They're just different Brand Names with the same active ingredient. Just like Acetaminophen comes under the Brand name Tylenol and Equate for example.

Meliss, I don't know which is safer, I prefer Motrin because it works better for me.  That is the only thing I take and I swear by it.  Feel better!  Bobbie

You're right Label, sorry about that....maybe it is the strength of each one of them or something that is different.

No,  I know they are different drugs and act differently.  A friend of mine suggested motrin because Advil didn't work and I was wondering if one was safer than the other to use.

Honestly M

I thought those 2 drugs were the same thing just different company that made the drug.
