Advil History

Now, about Advil:
     The chemical formula for Advil is C13H18O2, in other words, ibuprofen. The elements that are in this drug is carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Ironically, another one of it's common name is Ibuprofen. This drug was discovered by Dr. Stewart Adams and a few of his colleagues (John Nicholson and Colin Burrows) in the United Kingdom. There are many ways in which this drug can be manufactured. One such includes putting together  isobutylbenzene, acetyl chloride, triethylaluminum, and potassium cyanide. It belongs to a drug class called NSAIDs, in other words, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This belongs to this class since it makes congestions clear and not become inflamed.
