Is it okay to take nsaids at first day of each period? i guess i have been taking these painkillers from 2-3 years ago, but then i take that only at the first day of each period so is that okay or should i stop doing so?

FINE TO TAKE: This should be fine if you have done this and it helps. Just make sure to take after food so as to avoid stomach irritation and possible ulcer.
