Effective Menstrual Pain Relief 

Effective menstrual pain relief includes everything from pills that tackle menstrual symptoms to heat pads. Products designed for use during your period target specific symptoms, such as cramps, bloating and muscle aches.  

How to Get Pain Relief From Menstrual Cramps

Practical methods for period pain relief include over-the-counter medications, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Heat therapy can also help soothe cramps and relax muscles. If you're seeking alternative forms of pain relief for period cramps, consider taking a warm bath or performing gentle stretching exercises that target the affected areas.  

Cora calming body oil is an herbal remedy containing a blend of essential oils, such as lavender and sunflower, that may offer pain relief for menstrual cramps. You can also try combining methods, such as heat therapy and an over-the-counter medication.  

How to Choose the Best Menstrual Pain Relief for Your Needs

When choosing the best menstrual pain relief, look for products that match your specific symptoms. For example, heat patches and heating pads may reduce cramps, while diuretics are a good option for bloating.  

It's important to consider the severity of your pain and whether you're sensitive to certain ingredients. You should also choose products that best suit your lifestyle. If you're constantly on the move, you may benefit from pain relievers, such as Midol Complete on-the-go packets with added caffeine that help support energy while combating cramps. 

If you're looking for at-home relief, CVS Health maximum-strength menstrual relief contains the antihistamine pyrilamine maleate to help reduce bloating, caffeine to boost energy and acetaminophen to address pain. The antihistamine properties in pyrilamine maleate may cause drowsiness, making it a good option for home treatment.  

Consult with a health care provider if over-the-counter remedies don't alleviate your symptoms.  

What Is The Period Pain Relief Patch?

For a discrete and effective way to address your period pain, you can apply and wear a gently warming patch snugly against your skin and under your clothes to experience soothing relief. Period pain relief patches contain soothing herbs such as dandelion root, raspberry leaf, cramp bark, comfrey root, and nettle leaf, and heat activators to calm your cramping and aches from the outside in.

Can You Take Menstrual Pain Relief While on Birth Control?

Most birth control methods are compatible with menstrual pain relief, but check with your doctor before starting any medication. The best menstrual pain relief options ease symptoms without causing uncomfortable side effects. In some cases, hormonal birth control can reduce menstrual symptoms, though this may take a few cycles before you notice an effect. If you've just started taking hormonal birth control, you may want to stock up on pain relief pills along with menstrual pads and tampons just before your expected period, so you have the necessary items on hand. 

Can You Take Menstrual Pain Relief While Pregnant?

Pregnancy can limit your pain relief options, and the pills you take during your period may not be the best choice during this time. Many menstrual pain relief pills contain caffeine and other ingredients, so you might not want to take them during pregnancy. Over-the-counter pain relief options, such as acetaminophen, might be a better choice, but talk to your doctor before choosing a pain relief option during pregnancy. If you're trying to get pregnant, menstrual pain relief products can help ease symptoms during your regular periods. You can also use pregnancy and ovulation tests to help predict fertile times and identify pregnancy early. 

Does CVS Sell Period Pain Relief Products?

Yes, CVS sells a variety of Period Pain Relief products in stores and online.

Does CVS Deliver Period Pain Relief Products?

Yes, CVS offers free fast shipping on Period Pain Relief products orders over $35. Most orders are delivered within 1-4 days.
