Talk:Midol

The active ingredient in Midol for Cramps & Body Aches is ibuprofen, not acetaminophen.


 * Its website lists acetaminophen.

Pyrilamine Maleate  is listed on the Midol website as a diuretic, not as an antihistamine. The website also does not include details for a maximum strength product. mlhwitz (talk) 17:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Variability of formula
Does anyone have any idea or resource on why something with such prominent/recognizable branding as Midol would have such extreme variability in its formulation from one type to another, as well as through its history? Seems like "Midol" doesn't really mean anything reliable in a sense..... even ibuprofen and acetaminophen could have very different subjective effects for a single individual in terms or menstrual pain?

NSAID?
The majority of the formulations listed do not have any NSAID components. They are acetaminophen/paracetamol based. The sentence "There are concerns drugs like Midol, which is an NSAID, increases risk of bleeding, kidney damage and has other negative effects on cardiovascular system." seems quite misleading given it is not an NSAID. That said paracetamol has its own issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.225.84 (talk) 23:17, 17 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Correct, the Midol cited in this article does not contain a NSAID. Douglas w barns, PharmD 206.214.130.99 (talk) 14:24, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
