I tend to be conservative on recommending combination OTC products like
Midol and Pamprin because single entity products also exist.  Why expose the
infant to multiple ingredients when usually only one or two will do?
Midol and Pamprin contain ingredients like the antihistamine, pyrilamine,
and the diuretic, pamabrom, in addition to analgesics and caffeine.
You can read all about it in:
