is naproxen good for cramps?
Pain relief: Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, and Nuprin) or naproxen (Aleve) are excellent drugs for menstrual cramps. They not only decrease the pain but also decrease contractions of the uterus. You do not need a prescription to get ibuprofen in 200 mg tablets or naproxen in 220-mg tablets.
