A member asked:
Could you take 2 tablets of motrin ib every 6 hours for menstrual cramps? or is that too much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Menstrual Cramps: Motrin is a NSAID that decreases the amount of prostaglandins theorized to contribute to dysmenorrhea (painful periods outside of other gynecological pathology). Taking NSAIDS every6-8hrs during period helps. However, there are risks associated with taking NSAIDS. Follow instructions on box, if more needed suggest gynecologist evaluation/doctor's prescription. Remember: take motrin w/ food/milk.
