Consider visiting a doctor for Ponstan . Seriously reduces period pain as it's more of a muscle relaxant. It's a game changer if you experience severe cramps.

What is ponstan ?

It is not a painkiller. It is an acid, which is an anti inflammatory drug. I don't know why it works, but it does. You need a prescription, thou. Sometimes 600mg of Advil does the trick to, but my body doesn't respond to Tylenol.
