Menstrual Cramps: Motrin is a NSAID that decreases the amount of prostaglandins theorized to contribute to dysmenorrhea (painful periods outside of other gynecological pathology).

Accepted Answer

Yes: The kid tabs vary in strength from 50-100mg (junior usually 100) depending on the manufacturer. The liquid usually has a strength of 100mg/5cc. Adult dosage runs 200 to 400mg while maximum adult dosage is 600mg up to 4 times a day.

Question 4

i took motrin 800 at 6:30 it's now 8:30 is it ok to take my flexiral now?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is ok to stagger these medications often used together to treat back pain/spasm. They contain different drugs so you are not "doubling up" on something when you take them either together or close to the same time. The Motrin/ibuprofen should not be repeated for at least 6 hours. Follow your prescription and Doctor instructions exactly for safe and best results. Good wishes:)
