About Period Pain Tablets

What is Period Pain Tablets?

Period Pain Tablets are a targeted painkiller offering relief from menstrual cramps and associated pain.

How does Period Pain Tablets work?

Period pains are caused by the shedding of the uterus lining (endometrium) that occurs approximately every month when a woman does not become pregnant. To help the body effectively shed this lining the uterus contracts which causes pain and cramps in the lower abdomen. The contraction is caused by the production of chemicals in the body called Prostaglandins. The pain can also radiate to the back and legs. Many women will know that periods can also cause other pains in the body such as headaches. Thankfully this medication can also reduce the unpleasant sensation associated with these.

Period Pain Tablets 500mg dosage

The recommended dose is ONE tablet taken THREE times daily with or after food during your period.
