A member asked:
Can i take pain killers for menstrual cramps? i'm concerned i will get addicted to them next time i feel cramps, so have never taken them before
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some pain meds have an addictive potential (opiates) and some do not (ibuprofen). This is something you can review with your doc.
