Feminax is good from a chemist but the contraceptive pill totally gets rid of all period pains.

Are you on the Pill? If not I would get on that I used to have the exact same problem and I was perscribed the pill and my cramps were less severe and bleeding lessenend. Also try a hot bath, heating pad, midol every 4 hours and just relax on the day that they are the worst. If nothing helps you may want to go to your OBGYN and make sure you dont have an menstrual disorder.

1000mg 3 times a day of Evening Primrose oil. You can find it in the vitamin supplement eisle at the store. It really does help. Its best if you start to take it a week before your period is to start.
Vitamin B6 take 150 mg per day. Also best to start taking it a few days before your period starts.
Ibuprofen-- You can take up to 800mg 3 times a day, not to exceed 2400mg in any 24 hour time period. Over-the-counter ibuprofen comes in 200mg tablets. Start a couple days before your period starts. May make you kind of sleepy, ibuprofen always makes me sleepy.
You can go to your doctor and get stronger prescription anti-inflammatories. I'm currently taking a prescription.

The classic pain killer to use is the NSAID mefenamic acid. If this fails then usually hormone managements are tried. This is either the combined pill or a progesterone called norithisterone.

Take 2 paracetomal and put a hot water bottle on your belly. That's what I do - works most of the time!

I went on the pill and it was the best thing i ever done.
No pains.
In fact, you need never bleed again, as the only reason they have the week break is cos women expected it when it was first developed.
