Medipren

Anyone remember medipren? I used to take it back in high school for cramps. That stuff was AWESOME. Nothing else worked as well. I was in high school, I never paid attention to what was in it. Anyway, in 1990, I left the country for a year (bringing a year's supply with me!), and when I came back, there was no more medipren! I couldn't find it in the drugstores or the supermarkets.

Does anybody remember it? Gosh, I miss medipren. I've got naproxen now. It's good. It takes care of my cramps, but for some reason, I remember medipren as working better, and that was only the over the counter amount, not the perscription strength I need now!

hey, i don't remember medipren, cause it must have been before my time, but i just did a search for it on this online database my school has access to, and it said the main ingredient was plain ol' ibuprofen (like in advil or motrin or their many generic equivalents). i know those things definitely work nicely for me :)

the article that had it was:
Title: The same ingredients in many disguises.
Source: Nutrition Health Review: The Consumer's Medical Journal; 1994 Issue 70, p11, 1/2p

...i would paste the link but i realized you can't view the article unless you have a subscription.

anyway, hope that helps.

Hmmm…. But I do know that I switched to advil when I couldn’t get medipren anymore, and it’s never been as good. Maybe the dosage was different… I don’t know. Ah well. I’ll just stick with my naproxen. Thanks for checking on that for me!
