A PMS pill? As yet (worse luck), there is no single pill that can taken to banish every PMS (premenstrual syndrome) symptom, but there are plenty of beneficial supplements, herbals and prescription medications, all of which come in pill form and which help many women in coping with the spectrum of PMS symptoms. Firstly, vitamin and mineral pills can help duringPMS. Taking vitamin B6 pills, vitamin E pills, calcium, manganese and magnesium pills and, as a source of both vitamin E and beneficial fatty acids, evening primrose oil pills before and during PMS prove very beneficial for many woman in minimizing PMS symptoms. Herbal supplement pills are widely used for treating PMS problems. These include SuperFem and Estroven PMS, formulations that contain a combination of herbals, vitamins and minerals and also St. John's Wort pills, an age-old mood balancing herbal remedy.
Pain pills that can be taken for PMS include standard over the counter aspirin,acetominophen and ibuprofen pills. Acetaminophen with codeine pills provide stronger pain relief for when PMS symptoms hit hard. Presym is another strong pain pill, designed specifically for PMS pains.
These PMS pills are also marketed as Pamprin Multi-Symptom. Diuretic pills can be prescribed for PMS to help reduce water retention and bloating. Hormone pills can also be prescribed by your doctor to restore beneficial hormone levels. Hormone pills generally work by increasing estrogen levels during PMS. Prescription anti-depressant pills forPMS and PMDD (premenstrual dysphonic disorder) can be a lifeline for women who suffer from severe anxiety and depression. Prozac/Sarafem pills, Zoloft pills, Lexapro and Wellbutrin pills are now more frequently prescribed to treat severe PMS.
