Abdominal Pain Medicine

If you have abdominal pain, your doctor may want to diagnose the cause. This will help them decide what type of medicine will be best for you.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen sodium (Aleve) reduce pain by blocking chemicals that protect the stomach lining. However, they can also increase the risk for gastrointestinal bleeding.

Over-the-Counter Medicines

Over-the-counter medicines can relieve stomach pain, bloating and gas. Acetaminophen (brand names: Tylenol, Excedrin) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen block pain messages from your body's nerve endings in the brain.

But they can also irritate your stomach. So if you're taking NSAIDs, be sure to read the label and take them with food to reduce the risk of heartburn and stomach ulcers.

TYLENOL is not an NSAID, so it may be the best over-the-counter pain medicine for people who have a history of stomach bleeding or ulcers. It also doesn't irritate your stomach the way ibuprofen or naproxen sodium (Aleve) can.

Prescription Medicines

If your stomach pain is caused by a chronic gastrointestinal (GI) problem, prescription medicine can help. These medicines may include steroids, anti-inflammatory medications or antibiotics.

Prescriptions also include proton pump inhibitors like lansoprazole (Prevacid), omeprazole (Prilosec) and esomeprazole (Nexium). These drugs reduce the amount of acid in your stomach, which helps prevent heartburn and ulcers.

They can also prevent certain infections, such as H. pylori.

Some people take pain relievers, including NSAIDs and acetaminophen, to help with stomach pain. However, NSAIDs can increase your risk of developing a stomach ulcer.

Surgery

Abdominal pain usually goes away without surgery, and most people only need relief from their symptoms. However, it's important to see your doctor if you have abdominal pain that doesn't go away or is unusual.

Some common causes of pain in the abdomen include inflammation, digestive problems and female reproductive issues. If you have any of these conditions, your doctor will prescribe medicine to treat them and relieve your pain.
