A member asked:
Can ibuprofen stop my period? i took 1000 mg of ibuprofen when i feel cramps the cramps stopped but my period hasn't came.

No: Anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen should not stop your period. Check a pregnancy test and if negative then periods may just be delayed or missed. Pregnancy tests are most accurate 3 weeks after sex or one week after a missed period. Also they work best on a first morning urine.
