What is the best medication to reduce severe menstrual pain?
Asked by Female, 27 · 1 month ago
NSAIDs like mefenamic acid or ibuprofen, which lower prostaglandins that produce cramps, are the most often prescribed medications for severe menstrual discomfort. They are most effective when taken with meals to protect your stomach at the beginning of your period or when the pain first appears. Your doctor may add hormonal treatments (such as oral contraceptives) or look into other causes if NSAIDs are unable to control your pain.
