She was at the hospital being treated for her injuries and ingesting about 35 Advil pills, the official said.
Fever reducers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin) can help, but remember to avoid aspirin, which can cause a serious illness called Reye Syndrome in children with a viral illness.
Self-treating with over-the-counter (OTC) meds like Excedrin Migraine or Advil may do the trick for infrequent or not-too-severe pain but for others, it can actually make it worse, says Dr. Emily Rubenstein Engel, MD.
By contrast, shares in Bayer (nyse: BAY - news - people ), which makes Aleve, and Wyeth (nyse: WYE - news - people ), which makes Advil, were basically flat.
The upshot was that the newer drugs, including Celebrex and Bextra from rival Pfizer, did less damage to the stomach than older medicines like naproxen (sold as Aleve), ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) or diclofenac (a Novartis drug called Voltaren).
Because Bute and other NSAIDs prevent the development of inflammation if provided before before difficult training is undertaken (like the weekend warrior who takes Advil before his tennis match), it helps to prevent injury from inflammation in the first place.
It also sets high hurdles for returning Merck 's (nyse: MRK - news - people ) Vioxx to the market and describes the evidence the agency sees linking over-the-counter inflammatory pills such as Advil and Motrin to cardiovascular risk.
Both Merck and Pfizer also argued that older pain drugs, including such staples as Aleve, Motrin, Advil and diclofenac--which is available as the Novartis (nyse: NVS - news - people ) branded drug Cataflam--might harm the heart just as Vioxx did.
In June, Express Scripts, one of the biggest managers of pharmacy benefits in the U.S., told its clients that Celebrex and Vioxx provide only a narrow benefit over ibuprofen (the branded version is Advil) and naproxen (Aleve), which, as generics, are vastly cheaper (see box).
