Menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, is recognized as single greatest cause of lost school and working hours among women which is estimated at 140 million hours annually in United States alone. Unlike before, menstrual cramps is now considered as a serious medical condition. Thus, in addition to usual home remedies of dysmenorrhea, health experts and practitioners alike are giving some helpful tips that can help women during that particular painful time every month. Here are some that we have listed just for you. 1.Try an over counter Ibuprofen. It can be found as active ingredient in several OTC medications, such as Advil, Nuprin, and Motrin IB. The OTC dose per pill is 200 milligrams. The recommended dose is one tablet every four to six hours (or two, if one does not work), not to exceed six in a 24-hour period. Prescription formulations come in dosages of 400 to 800 milligrams. 2.Try taking an oral contraceptive. Oral contraceptive pills can be quite useful in treating menstrual cramps because they decrease amount of menstrual tissue formed and lower pain level (amplitude) of uterine contractions probably due to their progestin effect. 3.Try an over counter mefenamic acid. Mefenamic acid effectively relieves severe menstrual pain while also reducing heavy menstrual bleeding, easing menstrual migraine, and easing physical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
