Frequently Asked Questions: Can I take Advil during the day and then take Advil PM at night?

Can I take Advil during the day and then take Advil PM at night?

Yes, you may take Advil during the day and Advil PM at night. However, since both products contain 200 mg of ibuprofen, a total daily dose (24 hours) of 1200 mg should not be exceeded when both products are combined. Advil PM also contains diphenhydramine and a maximum daily dose (24 hours) of 50 mg should not be exceeded. Please refer to your healthcare provider for medical advice.
