A member asked:

I want to know which is a better product and have less side effects for period pain. 1) nurofen express. 512mg sodium ibuprofen. 2) buscofem. 400mg ibuprofen. thank you?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual pain : Both of these products you have named or ibuprofen and would be similar. The doses are different and the maximum dose of ibuprofen that can be used is 800 mg 3 times daily. Some women benefit from the higher dose, you would have to see how you respond to different doses.
