Mittelschmerz (cont.)
IN THIS ARTICLE
Medications
If a woman with midcycle pain is not already taking an anti-inflammatory medicine, the health care provider may advise her to take one of the over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribe an anti-inflammatory drug.
If mittelschmerz is severe and occurs every month, some forms of birth control may help. Birth control that prevents ovulation from taking place can stop the pain from occurring. These are prescription medications and can only be obtained after a visit to the doctor.

ENABLEX is a prescription medicine used in adults to treat the following symptoms due to a condition called overactive bladder:
- · having a strong need to go to the bathroom right away (also called "urgency")
- · leaks or wetting accidents (also called "urinary incontinence")
- · having to go to the bathroom too often (also called "urinary frequency")
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
You should not take once-daily ENABLEX if you have certain types of stomach problems, glaucoma, or have trouble emptying your bladder. Side effects of ENABLEX include blurred vision, and more commonly dry mouth, constipation, indigestion, and abdominal pain. Use caution when doing certain activities until you know how ENABLEX affects you.
