The dose should not be repeated more frequently than every 4 hours and not more than 4 doses (8 tablets) in any 24 hour period.
DO NOT EXCEED THE STATED DOSE.'
7 all at once every day can cause permanent damage and lead to death, not many realise this!
Never having had a period (I've not started yet) I couldnt comment and if it works for you great. But none of the women I know find it at all useful, and I find it next to useless for any pain.
Go and see you GP and tell them you get bad period pain and that paracetamol/ibuprofen doesn't work. They will give you stuff like trex/mefanamic acid which works a treat, it works better if you can take it a couple of days before, but also works if you take it while you on.
As for the headaches, make sure you drink plenty of water, and if your getting headaches that often you should see someone about them too.
