For Period Pain "I had the most excruciating period pain and couldn’t even get out of bed. I tried everything, and nothing helped until my cousin gave me Motrin. With Motrin, I don’t feel any pain and don’t suffer from symptoms: nausea, depression, mood swings, and now I can function normally. I cannot believe I found something to stop the pain, I’m truly fascinated and recommend Motrin to anyone."

For Headache "I take Motrin for my headaches, and it works within 30 minutes. I have no side effects. I have tried Aleve, Advil, Tylenol, and some prescription drugs for headaches. None have helped me like Motrin does."

For Headache "I've been suffering from headaches/migraines due to stress, menstrual cramps, and dry sinuses for 5 years now, and I have to say Motrin is very amazing with results. I would usually take 2 to 3 pills with food, and about an hour or 2, it takes the pain away. No side effects!"
