How many Midol tablets can i take for cramps in a day?

The dosage of Midol, or any medication, should always be taken according to the instructions provided on the package or as advised by a healthcare professional.

For Midol Complete, which is commonly used for menstrual cramps, the general guideline for adults and children 12 years and older is to take 2 caplets with water every 6 hours as needed. Do not take more than 6 caplets in a 24-hour period.

It's important to note that Midol comes in different formulations (such as Midol Extended Relief, Midol Teen Formula, etc.), and each may have different active ingredients and recommended dosages. Always check the specific product label for the correct dosage information and warnings.

If you have any underlying health conditions, are taking other medications, or if the recommended dose does not provide adequate relief, consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as doing so can increase the risk of side effects.
