About MEFENAMIC ACID(500MG) + PARACETAMOL(325MG)
Introduction
This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: Mefenamic Acid (500mg) and Paracetamol (325mg). It belongs to the class of pain-relieving and fever-reducing medications. This combination is commonly used to provide effective relief from moderate to severe pain and inflammation.
Uses
This combination medicine is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as: - Menstrual cramps (period pain) - Headaches and migraines - Dental pain - Muscle aches and joint pain - Fever - Post-operative pain - Pain due to injuries or sprains
Benefits
This medicine provides dual action for pain relief. Mefenamic Acid reduces inflammation and pain, while Paracetamol works to lower fever and provide additional pain relief. The combination offers more effective pain management than either medicine alone. It helps patients return to their daily activities by reducing discomfort and improving overall comfort levels. Relief typically begins within 30-60 minutes of taking the medicine.
Side effects
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, indigestion, diarrhea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Some patients may experience heartburn or mild stomach pain. Most side effects are mild and temporary, resolving as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience severe stomach pain, black stools, unusual bleeding, skin rash, or yellowing of skin/eyes, contact your doctor immediately.
How to use
Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is best taken with or after food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration. Take the medicine at evenly spaced intervals for best results. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions regarding dosage and timing.
How it works
Mefenamic Acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. Paracetamol works by blocking pain signals to the brain and acting on the temperature-regulating center to reduce fever. Together, they provide comprehensive pain and fever relief through complementary mechanisms.
Safety advice
Avoid alcohol as it increases the risk of stomach bleeding and liver damage. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Use with caution if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems. This medicine may cause dizziness or drowsiness; avoid driving if affected. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, especially blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or other pain relievers. Not recommended for patients with active stomach ulcers or severe kidney/liver disease. Long-term use should be under medical supervision.
