Another option that many women with PMS might consider is the use of across the counter drugs to deal with their problems.
No doubt many women are tempted to use across the counter painkillers to offset the physical pain associated with PMS. However, before you do so, you should again understand that even widely available across the counter drugs do carry the risk of adverse side-effects.
For instance, NSAID’s like ibuprofen and aspirin are widely available in drug stores and pharmacies but this does not necessarily mean that they are 100% safe because we again comes back to the fact that no pharmaceutical drug can be completely relied upon to be totally safe.
To highlight one very common example, aspirin comes in many different formats, often combined with other pharmaceutical drugs to form a slightly more powerful painkiller than it is when taken on its own.
Hence, whilst aspirin taken on its own will sometimes cause heartburn, nausea and an upset stomach, in more extreme situations, it can also cause breathing difficulties, tightness in the chest, bloody or black stools, severe stomach pain, unusual bruising, vomiting, nausea and dizziness.
Aspirin and other NSAID’s can adversely affect the normal functioning of your kidneys, leading to greater levels of water retention (which as a PMS sufferer, you really don't need) and of course, as with most drugs, an overdose can be fatal.
If however aspirin is taken combined with Codeine (as an example), the common side effects ‘list’ can be extended to include constipation, drowsiness, dizziness, light-headedness, upset stomach and blurred vision. The less common side effects might also include difficulty following, heavy or labored breathing, severe drowsiness and unusual bleeding.
