Midol is a brand of over-the-counter analgesic drugs marketed for menstrual cramping and other effects related to premenstrual syndrome and menstruation. Midol is distributed by Bayer.

Midol was originally sold in 1911 as a headache and toothache remedy that was considered safer because it did not use the narcotics typically used at the time.[1] It was then promoted as a cure for hiccups claiming it controlled spasms, and finally as a remedy for menstrual cramps and bloating.[2][3][4][5] A formulation sold in the 1980s was made with the sympathomimetic cinnamedrine.[6] It had been reported to have abuse potential as an appetite suppressant and sympathomimetic agent.

The "Midol Complete" formulation consists of:

  • Acetaminophen 500 mg (pain reliever)
  • Caffeine 60 mg (stimulant)
  • Pyrilamine maleate 15 mg (antihistamine)

The "Extended Relief" formulation consists of:

  • Naproxen sodium 220 mg (NSAID, pain reliever/fever reducer)

The "Teen" formulation consists of:

  • Acetaminophen 500 mg (pain reliever)
  • Pamabrom 25 mg (diuretic)

The "Liquid Gels" formulation consists of:

  • Ibuprofen 200 mg (NSAID, pain reliever)

The "PM" formulation consists of:

  • Acetaminophen 500 mg (pain reliever)
  • Diphenhydramine citrate 38 mg (sedative antihistamine)

There are concerns drugs like Midol, which is a NSAID, increases risk of bleeding, kidney damage and has other negative effects on cardiovascular system. [7]
