Question:
I used to take anaprox for cramps - i no longer can - what can we take?

I need heavy duty something. Tylenol is not going to do it for me. Any suggestions??    — Rebecca L. (posted on November 11, 2001)

Talk to your dr. about Vioxx. My surgeon allowed me to continue with Vioxx since it does not contain aspirn. I use it for knee arthritis, but it also helps wonderfully to eliminate my period cramps. Take Care!

Celebrex is also another good medication, its also used for arthritis but works wonders on cramps

My regular doctor prescribed SaraFem for me, and my surgeon approved it. I've found that it really helps not only with the pain/cramps/backaches, but helps alot with mood swings/PMS. I've had no problem taking the capsule, because it is so small.

Why can't you take the Anaprox? My bariatric surgeon allows me to continue taking mine.

I complained to my surgeon about needing something for cramps too. He prescribed Bextra. It works great and it is a little tiny pill.
