A member asked:
What kind of medicine can i take for period symptoms if i'm taking norgestimate ethinyl-estradiol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on symptoms: If your symptom is pain with your period, 2 aleve (naproxen) every 8-12 hour or 800 mg of Ibuprofen every 6-8 hours (not on an empty stomach) can help tremendously. If your symptoms are bloating, mood symptoms, breast tenderness, you could try a lower dose pill if you are not on a 20 mcg pill.
