Question 1

i have really severe  menstral cramps. i have to take 5 advil (ibuprofen) liquid gels to get some relief. is there anything you can recommend?

Accepted Answer

YES!: It appears that you suffer from Dysmenorrhea. 
You could have endometriosis, and unless you see a doctor this will not go away.  There are treatments that are not costly and very effective

Question 2

i am taking 1200mg dapro once a day for shoulder pain. i have menstrul cramps can i also take advil (ibuprofen)?

Accepted Answer

No: Once you are one anti-inflammatory drug, it's best not to mix it with another in the same class. I'd try some tylenol (acetaminophen) instead.

Question 3

im supposed to have blood tests today but i have a heavy menstual flow, severe cramps and ive taken ibuprofen? should i postpone my blood test to an

Accepted Answer

Blood tests: Being on your period will not affect your blood test results.

Question 4

my menustral cycle ended 2 days ago, now i am experiencing yellow discharge with a mid/heavy flow with strong odor. im taking ibuprofen for the last 2 days aswell. 600mg every 2-4hours for pain.?

Accepted Answer

:  Dose of 600 mg of ibuprofen very 2-4 hours is too much, it should be every 6 hours as needed. You probably have vaginitis, please see your primary doctor or preferably a GYN doctor for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Question 5

my girlfriend has really bad mestrual cramps. she just took 3 200mg ibuprofen but the pain isn't going away. can she take a 500mg dosis of naproxen?

Accepted Answer

Those are same: kind of medications. You already maxed out the Ibuprofen. Ocp/bcp's can help. Discuss with your dr.

Question 6

hi. i am a college golfer. i am just curious. for menstral cramps what is better alieve or advil (ibuprofen). i want something to work fast for when i golf.

Accepted Answer

Either one: Both Aleve (naproxen) and Advil are in the same class of medications.  I would recommend trying either Advil 400mg or Aleve (naproxen) 440mg to see what works best for you and stick with it.

Question 7

why is advil (ibuprofen) preferred over asprin for menstral cramps during period ? do they work the same for pain?

Accepted Answer

Probably: It seems to work better than Aspirin and is less likely to increase menstrual bleeding at the time of the period than asa is.

Question 8

i have a kidney stone and menstral cramps. i am in horrible pain. can i take 800mg of ibuprofen and 1000mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) together?

Accepted Answer

No: If the pain is so bad, you may wish to visit emergency room of a hospital. Take only one of the medications you mentioned, not both, and if that does not help, it would be prudent to seek medical care.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Question 10
