Abstract: Dysmenorrhea is characterized by painful uterine cramps during menstruation. An applicator and method are disclosed for alleviating dysmenorrhea by injecting a volume of a pharmaceutical agent into a woman's vaginal cavity. The device also functions as a tampon applicator. The device achieves both purposes by providing a cavity for the storage of the pharmaceutical agent and a hollow interior area for the storage of the tampon. The agent and tampon can be expelled together or separately from one another by way of multiple plunger elements.
