Feminax

Contrary to popular belief, I am a woman. Quite a womanly woman in fact with a BIG womanly problem, one that I am unfortunate enough to share with thousands of women world wide. Every month, an aunty of mine drops by, an aunty who I hate very, very much. She's not warm and cuddly, or even pretty. In fact, she's sinfully hideous, annoying and painful. She has been known to make me cry. Does it ring a bell, ladies? That thing is aunty flow - well, it's not physically a person. It's the dreaded 'P' - nope, not pain in the butt, although it is that as well. I'm talking about the period or menstruation if you want to be less crass about it. ...  Read the complete review

Every month, for about three days, I used to suffer from heavy bleeding, and some of the worst pain imaginable, until I went on the Pill a while back. I don't like to make sweeping statements like this but I think a lot of women would agree with me that unless you're a woman you wouldn't fully be able to appreciate what it's like. For me, it was like someone was reaching into my lower abdomen and setting fire to my organs, whilst simultaneously attempting to break my back. I got excrutiating pains in my stomach and my back. When I was at school I used to have to go home early or sit in the nurse's office because it totally disabled me. I couldn't ...  Read the complete review

I had never felt the need to take tablets for Period Pain, as I found that normal Ibuprofen worked fine for me. However having been on the Injection for the last 8 years I had never had a Period, so no worries there then, but 15 months ago I came off it and what a nice Christmas present yesterday, I got my first period in 8 years - aaah! Was the pain really ever that bad? I can't remember, but I felt the need to buy something to try and take the ache away. I bought these from Asda and they were sold behind the chemist counter. They cost £2.54 for 20 tablets, which I though was quite expensive, but these things normally are I guess. The ...  Read the complete review

Each capsule of Feminax contains 500mg of Paracetamol and 8mg of Codeine Phosphate The packet I have has 20 capsules in it, and the recommeneded dose is 1 - 2 capsules every 4-6 hours when necessary, taking no more than 8 day. I can't recall exactly how much it cost, but I would say around £5 possibly. I am extremely unlucky when it comes to periods, I always have been. My aunt was one who fainted when on her period and would sometimes be violently sick, and I seem to take after her and can get very bad at times. I've got a mixed view on Feminax, as there are times when I've taken it and have felt the pain melt away, and there ...  Read the complete review
