Each coated caplet contains ibuprofen (NSAID) 200 mg and diphenhydramine citrate 38 mg. The inactive ingredients on the label include lactose monohydrate, so please read it before use if you have allergies, and do not take it with other products containing diphenhydramine or ibuprofen.
How should I store the packets?

How is Advil PM different from regular Advil?
