Period & Menstrual Health FAQs

What products are best for period pain relief?

For period pain relief, many find over-the-counter options like ibuprofen (e.g., Ibuprofen Tablets, Feminax) or paracetamol (e.g., Panadol, Paramol) effective. Combination pain relievers like Solpadeine Max may also provide stronger relief for moderate pain. Heat patches such as Cura-Heat Period Pain Relief Patches can also offer soothing comfort.

What are the different types of sanitary protection available?

Weldricks Pharmacy offers a wide selection of sanitary protection to suit individual needs. This includes various types of sanitary pads (different absorbencies, winged, night-time), tampons (applicator and non-applicator, different absorbencies), and menstrual cups for a reusable option. Consider your flow, comfort, and lifestyle when choosing.

How can I maintain intimate hygiene during my period?

Maintaining good intimate hygiene during your period is important for comfort and to prevent irritation. Use mild, pH-balanced intimate washes from brands like Femfresh or Vagisil. Avoid harsh soaps or perfumed products that can disrupt natural balance. Regular changing of sanitary products is also key to freshness.

When should I seek medical advice for menstrual issues?

You should consult a healthcare professional if you experience unusually heavy or prolonged bleeding, severe or worsening period pain, irregular periods, bleeding between periods, or any new or concerning symptoms related to your menstrual health. Our pharmacists can also offer advice and guidance on suitable over-the-counter options.

What products help with thrush or vaginal dryness?

For thrush, we offer antifungal treatments such as creams (Canesten Clotrimazole Cream, Care Clotrimazole Cream) and oral capsules or pessaries (Canesten Pessary). For vaginal dryness, products like Replens MD vaginal moisturiser and YES VM vaginal moisturiser provide relief. Always read the product information carefully or ask your pharmacist for advice.
