A member asked:
Hi, i decided to take ibuprofen for my period however i've noticed my flow is a lot heavier and lighter. does this mean by period will go by faster?

Maybe: The Ibuprofen is a prostaglandin inhibitor which knocks out the uterine cramping allowing the endometrium (uterine lining) to egress more smoothly and less spasmodically.
