Advil inhibits cyclooxygenases, the enzymes that help produce prostaglandins and thromboxane. Prostaglandins are involved in mediating pain and fever. Thromboxane is involved in promoting blood clots and cyclooxygenases also help maintain a protective lining of the stomach lining.
The therapeutic effects of Advil for pain relief and fever reduction are due to the reduced effect of prostaglandins. The gastrointestinal side effects of Advil are also related to its inhibition of cyclooxygenases and thromboxane.

itemizations
I take Advil for my migraines (about 2-3 times a month), which in severe cases mean I have to go to bed and vomit. Since I've been taking Advil whenever the migraine starts, I haven't had any more migraine problems.
