What over the counter pain medicines can you take while pregnant?

Answer 1

If you are referring to menstrual cramps, the best class of drugs are the NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as Advil (ibuprofen) or Alieve (naproxen). These drug prevent the formation of a certain type of prostaglandin in the uterus, thus helping with cramps. Make sure to talk to your doctor or pharmacist to make sure you can take these medications. They could interact with your current medications, disease states, and/or supplements.

Answer 2

It very much depends on which pain medication you take. You should always be careful when taking medication if you are pregnant because many meds can have adverse effects on the child.

This kind of information should be listed in the information you got along with the medicine at the apothecary.When in doubt you should contact your doctor.

Answer 3

There are several alternatives to soothe menstrual cramping. The solution simply depends on what avenue are you most comfortable taking. If you are more conventional and prefer taking over the counter medical help then medications such as Tylenol Extra Strength, Advil, are excellent Midol options. If you are into a more natural alternative then evening primrose oil supplements, chamomile tea, and raspberry tea are prime choices. If you'd like the least intervention as possible simply rest and apply a hot compress to your abdomen.
