What is Midol Extended Relief?
Midol Extended Relief is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Midol Extended Relief is used to treat pain or inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tendinitis, bursitis, gout, or menstrual cramps.
The delayed-release or extended-release tablets are slower-acting forms of naproxen that are used only for treating chronic conditions such as arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis. These forms of naproxen will not work fast enough to treat acute pain.
Midol Extended Relief may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
