Together, they work to provide relief from pain associated with muscle spasms, particularly menstrual cramps and abdominal pain.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. The usual duration and frequency will be determined by your doctor based on your condition. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions carefully.
How it works
Drotaverine works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels, stomach, intestines, and uterus, thereby relieving painful spasms and cramps. Mefenamic Acid belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. Together, they provide effective relief from spasmodic pain.
Safety advice

Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it may increase drowsiness and risk of stomach problems. Kidney/Liver: Use with caution; dose adjustment may be needed. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease. Driving: May cause dizziness or drowsiness; avoid driving if affected. Allergies: Inform your doctor about any history of asthma, stomach ulcers, or allergies to NSAIDs. Avoid if you have active stomach ulcers or severe heart problems.
