A description of the experience
Midol is a brand of an over-the-counter drug for menstrual cramps and PMS based on acetaminophen, and other NSAIDs
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. It was then promoted as a cure for hiccups claiming it controlled spasms, and finally as a remedy for menstrual cramps and bloating. A formulation sold in the 1980s was made with the sympathomimetic cinnamedrine. It had been reported to have abuse potential as an appetite suppressant and sympathomimetic agent.
