Pamabrom is available in combination with acetaminophen (paracetamol) for various conditions such as back pain and menstrual relief. The acetaminophen helps reduce menstrual pains and the pamabrom reduces associated bloating. The combination is available in a number of products from various brands under different names. The dosages are essentially the same for each brand, including generic drug store varieties.

A diuretic is also used to reduce fluid buildup in the body, especially around the heart. When the body has fluid buildup, it can cause swelling of the extremities, like in your ankles and feet. Excess fluid can make it harder for your heart to work properly. Buildup of these fluids are sometimes related to congestive heart failure.
