Is it true that ibuprofen relieves menstrual cramp pain in women with period cramps?
Unclear. Several sources indicate ibuprofen is an NSAID used for pain and that NSAIDs are commonly used for menstrual pain, and one study used ibuprofen as a rescue dose for severe menstrual pain. None directly measures whether ibuprofen relieves menstrual cramp pain in women with period cramps.
