Pain that stops you doing normal things is not something you have to put up with.   Symptoms Cramping in the lower tummy that can spread to the back and thighs, often with heavy bleeding, nausea, headaches or tiredness.   Causes Most period pain is caused by the womb contracting. Sometimes it is linked to conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis or fibroids, which our clinicians can help you explore.   Treatment Anti-inflammatories like mefenamic acid and naproxen ease cramps. Tranexamic acid reduces heavy bleeding. Both are taken only during your period.   ## How it works   Free online consultation Step 1 Tell us about your periods, pain and health in a confidential online consultation. Step 2 You select your treatment, a women's health clinician reviews your answers and prescribes treatment if it's suitable. Step 3 Treatment arrives at your door in plain packaging within 2 working days. ## What women say ★★★★★ “A real chat. Kind. Honest. Comfortable and safe feeling.

Yes. Mefenamic acid, naproxen and tranexamic acid are prescription-only. At TribElle, you complete an online consultation, a women's health clinician reviews and prescribes it, and if treatment is suitable it is delivered to your door. What is the best painkiller for period pain? Anti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAIDs) such as mefenamic acid and naproxen work best for period pain because they block the prostaglandins that make the womb cramp. They are more effective than paracetamol for most women. Start them on the first day of your period or as soon as the pain begins. What is the difference between mefenamic acid and naproxen? Both are anti-inflammatories. Mefenamic acid is licensed specifically for period pain and heavy periods and is taken three times a day. Naproxen is longer acting, so it is taken twice a day. You select your treatment and your prescriber will review your consultation and prescribe it if it is suitable. What does tranexamic acid do? Tranexamic acid reduces heavy menstrual bleeding by up to half. It slows the breakdown of clots in the womb lining. It does not contain hormones and is taken only on your heaviest days, for up to 4 days each period. It does not treat pain, so it is often used alongside an anti-inflammatory. When should I start taking my treatment? Start anti-inflammatories as soon as your period or pain begins, and take them regularly for the first 2 to 3 days rather than waiting for the pain to get bad. Start tranexamic acid once heavy bleeding has begun. Are there side effects? Anti-inflammatories can cause indigestion or stomach upset, so take them with food. They are not suitable if you have asthma triggered by painkillers, stomach ulcers or kidney problems. Tranexamic acid is generally well tolerated but is not suitable if you have a history of blood clots. Our consultation checks all of this. Can I take these with the contraceptive pill? Yes. Mefenamic acid, naproxen and tranexamic acid can all be taken with hormonal contraception. Tell us what you take in your consultation so our clinicians can check. When should I see a doctor about period pain? See a doctor if pain is severe or getting worse, if it happens outside your period, if you bleed between periods or after sex, or if treatment is not helping. These can be signs of endometriosis, fibroids or other conditions that need further checks. How much does period pain treatment cost? Naproxen 250mg starts from £11.99, tranexamic acid from £24.99 and mefenamic acid (pack of 28) from £34.99. Your consultation and pharmacist advice are free, and delivery is in plain packaging within 2 working days. Is TribElle regulated? Yes. TribElle is a UK-registered online pharmacy created for women, by women. All medicines are genuine, regulated treatments prescribed and dispensed by our clinical team.
