  • Title: Treatment of dysmenorrhea.
    Author: Budoff PW.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1977 Sep 15; 129(2):232. PubMed ID: 331958.
    Abstract:
    34 women with recurrent primary dysmenorrhea were given prescriptions for mefenamic acid and told to use it as needed for pain and cramps. 85% felt the dysmenorrhea had improved and 15 of the women said it was completely controlled. Virtually all felt it more effective than aspirin and 13 of 18 who could make a comparison considered it more effective than propoxyphene. There were 3instances of nausea or vomiting and 1 of sleepiness. A double-blind study is now underway.
