How do you use pamprin?

My mom only takes it for cramps but my main issue on my period is bloating. It’s supposed to help with that but I was just wondering if I should save it exclusively for cramps or if it’s ok to take it for other symptoms too? Sorry I’m still trying to figure out periods 🤷‍♀️

EDIT: Also my period is like 5-6 days late. Is it safe to take it for symptoms even if I don’t have it yet?
