One way to handle dysmenorrhea is to use herbal remedies that are red ginger.Objective: To determine the effect of the red ginger extract on prostaglandin hormone levels and menstrual pain score in the adolescent with dysmenorrhea.Methods:The design of this study used quasi experiments with a pretest-posttest control group design. With a simple random sampling technique, 36 students were selected from the population, consisting of 18 students in the treatment group given red ginger extract with a dose of 1.5 grams/capsule, 3x1 daily and 18 students in the control group given mefenamic acid with a dose of 500 mg/capsule 3x1 daily during first and second menstrual period. Data analysis with paired t test and independent sample t test.Results: red ginger extract and mefenamic acid significantly reduced prostaglandin hormone levels and menstrual pain scale, and by comparing two interventions, mefenamic acid may decrease prostaglandin hormone levels greater than red ginger extract, 177.35 pg/ml for Mefenamic acid and 124.55 pg/ml for red ginger. Conclusion: red ginger extract can be used as an alternative intervention in treatment of adolescents with dysmenorrhea
