"500 mg of Naproxen when I have menstrual cramps works wonders! I normally have really bad pain when I get my period but once the Naproxen kicks in, I no longer feel that pain. Totally recommend it."

Aleve (naproxen) "The first few days of my period are always annoying and painful. Aleve seems to do the trick, albeit it takes a while to kick in. Definitely helps with the cramps and slows down the bleeding."
