Good to know
- Advil PM Liqui-Gels are a different formula: ibuprofen 200 mg with diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg (a different salt and listed strength), so they are not in this group.
- The same split applies to store brands: "Ibuprofen PM" caplets list diphenhydramine citrate 38 mg, while "Ibuprofen PM" liquid-gels list diphenhydramine HCl 25 mg.
- Motrin PM caplets list the same active ingredients as Advil PM caplets: ibuprofen 200 mg + diphenhydramine citrate 38 mg.
