Menstrual Pain: To help prevent menstrual pain, try to take 600 mg to 800 mg of advil (ibuprofen) up to 3 times per day for 1-2 days before you period starts. This will prevent the build up of prostaglandins which cause the contractions of your uterus. Also, increasing you water intake will help since pain is felt stronger when we are dehydrated.
