Can men take midol?!


Question:

Can men take midol?

I mean what if they have a cramp or are feeling bloated or sumthing?


Answers:

Midol is Acetaminophen 500mg, Pamabrom 25mg, and Pyrilamine Maleate 15mg

Cramping in men in normally treated by taking calcium (drinking milk) or quinine. Midol won't help.

Bloat in men can be treated with Lasix or other diuretic. Midol will provide a *little* relief, but not much.

Acetaminophen will help some pains - it's the same thing as Tylenol - but normally, pain is accompanied by inflammation. Tylenol is the only common pain medicine that DOESN'T do anything for inflammation. Tylenol is also relatively dangerous. In the UK, they aren't legally permitted to put more than 12 tablets to a retail package for that reason.

On the other hand, most men blanch at the idea of taking Midol, thinking that it will shrink their testicles, or make them watch Bravo, or something like that. Nope. It won't make a man less manly. It simply is a combination drug for symptoms men aren't likely to experience together.
