Question: Does paracetamol (US tylenol) really help cramps!?
If so, why!? Isnt it just a painkiller!? wouldnt one need an antinflammatory or muscle relaxant!? !.!. or booze!? lolWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
First of all some people said paractamol is an anti-inflamatory it ISNT, it is only a painkiller, it kills period cramps because the pain killer kills the period cramps fast!. So yes for people with mild - less severe cramps paracetamol would really work for them, however people with severe period cramps this painkiller will not be strong enough to kill the pain therefore they must move on to an anti inflamatory medication such as ibuprofen!.

Hope i helped answer your question

Paracetamol can help as most have caffine in, which will generally give you a lift, as well as a muscle relaxant, which is the perfect cure for a cramp!. If it's for a regular muscle (leg, arm etc) is buy some deep heat!. If it's for tummy, hot water bottle all the way!. If you find your getting constant cramps in one of your limbs, normally means your dehydrated, drink lots and lots of water, especially in this unusual British heat we're having!.

Good luck, and take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

im pretty sure tylenol does help with the menstrual pain!. however, ive always believed that its also psychological and almost have nothing to do with the painkiller itself!.
once you take it, and you BELIEVE you're going to stop feeling the cramping, then the pill will take on its effect!.
