People don't always use OTC meds as directed. Check the list of ingredients. Is it something like acetamenophen aand maybe something that works as a diuretic? If there was nothing else in the house and the guy had a headache, he might try it.

Or he might feel like a woman in a man's body.......

Info from Pamprin website:

Drug Facts Active ingredients (in each caplet)

Purpose

Acetaminophen 250 mg

I actually gave a guy some midol when I was taking auto mechanics. He asked what it was and I told him. He asked if he would grow breasts!! I laughed out loud and told him no but he might have to shave his armpits. :D

He took it anyway. He had a headache.

In my younger days, I had a male friend who had a headache...All we had was Midol. We gave it to him and then 2 hours later staring acting like he was growing boobs- "OMG Ricky you are getting man boobs! Ooops, we gave him Midol, it must be causing the man boobs". It was pretty funny.

I read this post to my hubs and daughter and daughter's friend, and they all stared with "Say what?" expressions!

I like the Midol with ibuprofin, caffeine, and a diuretic in it...even if it's just a headache and not period-related! Thay way, headache goes away, i'm alert, and feel a bit skinnier!
