So my doctor first of all gave me mefenamic acid, to help with reducing bleeding and stomach cramps while on my period.
I latter went back, and she put my on the pill, as im now in a long term relationship. she said this too will help with my periods.
I took my frist pill yesterday when i started my period like she said. i have extensive stomach cramps still thou, and i was wondering can you take mefenamic acid while on the pill, coz it does help a lot?
thanks

    Never heard of that. It doesn't say so in the prescription leaflet either. I don't think so, but I'm not a doctor either.

    She wouldn't have prescribed you both if it was going to cause you any problems. To be safe, ask.
