Ask your doctor: Not knowing your medical history and what other medications you are on it is difficult to say what is safe for you to take. If the cramps are severe you should see your doctor to rule out any other problems.

Gyn eval: NSAID’s, SSRI’s, hormone meds, OTC meds containing diuretics, warm bath, heating pad, exercise & acupuncture are excellent for PMS / period. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, alcohol & salt.
