I have really bad menstrual cramps. i took midol hcomplete 2.5 hours ago. it hasn't helped at all. i have an 800 mg in proven. can i take it now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You wouldn't want to take tylenol (acetaminophen) or acetominophen this early, but the ibuprofen should be fine. It can repeated about every 8 hours

I noticed that for several cycles, I have had pain for up to 5 days before my period. I found out that I had a cyst on my right ovary. Will things like heat and Midol help with my ovarian cyst pain? My ovarian cysts make menstrual cramps a lot worse.
