can i take midol or tylenol for cramps in the morning before i have eaten, on an empty stomach? or is that bad? also do i have to take it after a meal durin the day or can i just take it? i get really bad cramps and sometimes i feel so bad that im not even hungry, i just want to take midol and go back to bed

Answer 1

It really depends upon how tender your stomach is. I've never had a problem with it, but some people experience acid reflux (heart burn) from taking analgesics on an empty stomach.

It shouldn't make you sick however, and taking it on an empty stomach will accelerate the absorption of the drug, making it work that much faster.

Answer 2

I'm not a doctor, but both tylenol and midol have the same active ingredient acetaminophen. That's a painkiller.

The other active ingredients in Midol are diuretics, which increase urine production.

You can take acetaminophen on an empty stomach, it's not like iboprofen or A.S.A.(asprin), where it eats the stomach lining, but you should try to take more fluids when you're taking midol, since it's forcing more fluids to leave your system.

Answer 3

You can use midol or tylenol at any time of the day but for cramps I think Ibuprofen or Naproxen would be more effective. Also if you cramps are that bad you need to see your doc to be sure you don't have something like endometriosis causing this.

Tylenol side effects

Get emergency medical help if you have any signs of an allergic reaction to Tylenol: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
In rare cases, Tylenol may cause a severe skin reaction that can be fatal. This could occur even if you have taken acetaminophen in the past and had no reaction. Stop taking this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have skin redness or a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling. If you have this type of reaction, you should never again take any medicine that contains acetaminophen.
Stop taking this medication and call your doctor at once if you have:
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite;
- dark urine, clay-colored stools; or
- jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Answer 5

i would just eat something small it is not good to take any meds without food or at least drink milk with it. But if you really get bad cramps i would just take midol that is what is made for. so that would work much better.

Answer 6

I think Tylenol is your best bet. Midol never worked for me. I hope you feel better. Don't take a shower with hot hot water it will make you cramp more,

Answer 7

advil is the only thing that works on cramps for me. just eat a bite of bread or something if you are that worried about your stomach. even milk will do. if you are only taking it for that then you shouldn't worry. advil only affects your stomach when you take it several times a day every day.

Answer 8

I would recommend talking to your pharmacist about this as well. As for the really bad cramps I would recommend that you see your dr about them to see if they can help you to figure out what could be causing them.

Answer 9

You can. It shouldn't upset your stomach, but better to take with full glass of water.

Answer 10

Check with your pharmacist.
