Allege: Take an over the counter pain killer scheduled when you period starts according to maximum dose on package directions for a maximum of five days It takes less medicine to prevent pain rather than treat it. Caffeine also helps by constricting blood vessels to decrease bleeding and this can be found in Midol. Heating pads also help. Long term plan can include birth control pills that decrease pain
