I would like to know how to decrease my menstrual pain. What can I do? I take acetaminophen, but it is not effective.

To help reduce menstrual pain, you could try taking ibuprofen instead of acetaminophen. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory that is more effective in relieving menstrual pain. You can take up to 400mg three times a day, preferably with food to reduce the risk of gastric problems. If needed, you could also try naproxen sodium, another type of anti-inflammatory, under the supervision of a pharmacist. Have a good day!
