I had met people who have a complete knowledge of the generic medicines, yet they still choose the brand without giving any reason.

Why are they doing that?

This is why I prefer Advil liquid gels. Iā€™ve had plenty of generic ibuprofen. Iā€™m convinced that Advil is faster acting with 100% efficacy.

Liquid gels are absolutely faster acting than compressed powder. I buy both generic naproxen pills and name brand Aleve liquid gels so that I have two different available delivery mechanisms (and unit prices) for the same active ingredient, and I choose which to take (or to give my dependents) based on the circumstances at the time of use.
