Ibuprofen Tablet To Stop Period Bleeding

Hi. I'm 19 yrs old and just started my period today. I heard that taking 800mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours can temporarily stop the bleeding. My question is, does it work for any kind of ibuprofen or just the red ones? I have white 600mg tablets. Can I use those and they will work just as effectively?

Hi Lydia,

Based on my research, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Ibuprofen or naproxen) may help reduce menstrual bleeding by decreasing the production of substances called prostaglandins. I haven't read anything about certain colored tablets having a greater effect than others in this regard, so I'm thinking that is just something which can only be determined through trial and error.

Cramp bark is also a natural alternative touted for it's use in alleviating menstrual cramps; but many articles suggest that it can help prevent menstrual bleeding as well.

Are you taking any other medications that might also be contributing to the cause?
