What is the best medicine to alleviate menstrual colic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs according to the mayo clinic, oral birth control pills contain hormones that prevent ovulation and reduce the severity of menstrual cramps. In rare cases, when menstrual cramping is extremely severe, your physician may prescribe a narcotic, such as oxycodone for pain relief.
