I am experiencing abdominal pain due to menstruation, what medicine should I take?

Asked by Female, 25 · 10 hours ago

For menstrual cramps, over-the-counter NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) like Ibuprofen (200-400 mg) or Naproxen are highly effective because they target the prostaglandins that cause uterine contractions. Always take these with food to protect your stomach. Alternatively, Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) can help but may be less effective for cramps. Applying a heating pad to your lower abdomen and staying hydrated can also provide quick relief. If your pain is severe, worsening, or not relieved by these medications, please consult a doctor for a personalised evaluation.
