About MEFENAMIC ACID(50MG/5ML) + PARACETAMOL(125MG/5ML)

Introduction

This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: Mefenamic Acid (50mg per 5ml) and Paracetamol (125mg per 5ml). It is available as a liquid suspension, making it easier to administer, especially for children and those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. This combination provides effective relief from pain and fever.

Uses

This medicine is commonly prescribed for: - Relief of mild to moderate pain including headache, toothache, muscle pain, and joint pain - Reducing fever in children and adults - Relief from pain associated with menstrual periods - Post-vaccination fever and discomfort - Pain following minor injuries or surgical procedures

Benefits

This combination medicine offers dual benefits by combining two pain relievers that work through different mechanisms. Mefenamic Acid helps reduce inflammation and pain, while Paracetamol effectively reduces fever and provides additional pain relief. Together, they provide faster and more effective relief from pain and fever than either ingredient alone. The liquid form makes it easy to measure accurate doses and is particularly suitable for children.

Side effects

Common side effects may include: - Nausea or upset stomach - Vomiting or loss of appetite - Diarrhea or loose stools - Dizziness or drowsiness - Mild skin rash - Indigestion or heartburn Most side effects are mild and temporary. If you experience severe stomach pain, dark stools, yellowing of skin or eyes, or allergic reactions, contact your doctor immediately.

How to use

Shake the bottle well before each use. Measure the dose carefully using the measuring cup or dropper provided. It is best taken with or after food to reduce stomach upset. Give the exact dose as prescribed by your doctor based on age and condition. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions carefully. Do not use for more than a few days without medical advice.

How it works

This medicine works through a dual mechanism. Mefenamic Acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. Paracetamol works by blocking pain signals in the brain and acts on the heat-regulating center to reduce fever. Together, they provide comprehensive relief from pain and fever.

Safety advice

Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase the risk of liver damage and stomach problems. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. This medicine may cause dizziness; avoid driving if affected. Keep well hydrated while taking this medicine. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking to avoid interactions.
