Ms Drugs For Cramps
An experimental drug, VA111913, has shown promise in treating severe menstrual cramps in a new study. According to experts, severe menstrual cramps--a condition known as dysmenorrhea--affect 45 percent to 90 percent of women of child-bearing age. This condition is also the leading cause of school and job absenteeism among women under age 30. But in a recent study, VA111913 was able to block a hormone that helps regulate contractions of the uterus and help ease these severe cramps.
