Anti-inflammatory: the family of medicines called anti-inflammatory medications are very helpful for menstrual pain. they are now available without a prescription. It is best to take as recommended on the package until your period is finished. common over-the-counter products: Ibuprofen and Naproxen sodium.

NSAID: NSAIDS (Nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs) like OTC Ibuprofen or Anaprox (naproxen) work well, especially if you start taking it before the symptoms get severe.
