Pain-Free Facts for a moment

Naproxen and Mefenamic Acid are potent prescription anti-inflammatory tablets from The Family Chemist, superior to typical over-the-counter options. They should be supplemented with stomach protection tablets like a PPI, available on our website, especially with prolonged use.

Period pain, or dysmenorrhea, arises from uterine contractions during menstruation, causing discomfort typically felt in the lower abdomen, sometimes with nausea, headaches, and diarrhea.

Effective management includes lifestyle adjustments such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol. Some find reducing caffeine and increasing omega-3 fatty acids beneficial.

Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), reduces stomach acid, significantly lowering ulcer risk when taken alongside Naproxen. Take Omeprazole before meals to ensure it’s fully effective when taking Naproxen.

For advice on managing period pain or medication concerns, contact us or consult your GP.

Warning

Prolonged NSAID use like naproxen can lead to peptic ulcer disease, characterized by painful ulcers in the stomach or small intestine lining. To mitigate risks, especially with regular use, consider stomach protection with Omeprazole.

Our online consultation tool will guide you in discovering the optimal treatment for period pain, customized to address your specific symptoms and needs, ensuring effective relief and support throughout your menstrual cycle.

Available Treatments

Period pain is common and a normal part of your menstrual cycle. Most women get it at some point in their lives. It’s usually felt as painful muscle cramps in the stomach, which can spread to the back and thighs. The pain sometimes comes in intense spasms, while at other times, it may be dull but more constant. It may also vary with each period. We at The Family Chemist have prescription anti-inflammatory treatments to help make the pain bearable.
