2. Yes
It sure is still being made...sold in a pink package. If she can't find it try Tylenol PMS, instead of Midol,( midol contains caffeine and makes many people anxious.)

5. she says
Tylenol PMS does nothing 4 her but 4 some reason there currently is no Pamprin in SoCal, Orange County specifically.

3. I can't remember what's in it, but caution.
It may contain caffeine (that one's up to her, whether she finds the effects bothersome or not). If it contains aspirin/salicylates etc., caution her not to take it if she's under 20. Very bad things can result if she's infected with a virus such as influenza or chicken pox.

aspirin/salicylates with certain antidepressants either. Harrad.

8. It used to work well for me, too,
in fact was one of the few things that kept me sane during "that time." But since I had a total hysterectomy last summer at age 37, I've had no need of it, thank God!

10. midol I believe makes a formula just for teenagers. I use it sometimes
because its the only thing I've ever used in 40
years that KILLS the cramps.

11. Going off-topic a bit, but back when Bill Cosby was FUNNY,
he did a great bit about taking Pamprin for a headache.

12. If she has an immediate need, has she tried Alleve?
My daughter has horrible cramps and always swore by Pamprin but now swears by Alleve...for cramps anyway.
