What is Mefenamic Acid?

Mefenamic Acid, the active ingredient in Mefenamic Acid Dawa, is a fenamate (NSAID) presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is employed to relieve mild to moderate pain, dysmenorrhea, and musculoskeletal inflammation in adult patients. It belongs to the analgesic and anti‑inflammatory therapeutic class and works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, thereby reducing prostaglandin synthesis.

GNH USA supplies Mefenamic Acid Dawa as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, ensuring quality compliance and reliable logistics.

What is Mefenamic Acid used for?

Mefenamic Acid is a non‑selective NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. - Dysmenorrhea: provides relief from menstrual cramps and associated pelvic pain. - Musculoskeletal pain: alleviates pain and inflammation in joints, muscles and soft tissues. - Acute mild to moderate pain: reduces pain intensity from various short‑term conditions such as dental or postoperative discomfort.

What are the side effects of Mefenamic Acid?

Mefenamic Acid may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, abdominal pain or dyspepsia. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: transient sensation of light‑headedness. - Skin rash: mild erythema or itching.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding: severe abdominal pain or blood in stool. - Renal impairment: reduced urine output or swelling. - Hepatotoxicity: jaundice or elevated liver enzymes. - Anaphylaxis: sudden difficulty breathing, swelling of face or throat.

What precautions apply to Mefenamic Acid?

When prescribing Mefenamic Acid, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures to minimize risk. - Assess gastrointestinal risk: evaluate history of ulcers or bleeding before use. - Monitor renal function: avoid in patients with severe kidney impairment. - Check hepatic status: use cautiously in liver disease. - Avoid concurrent NSAIDs: increase risk of adverse effects. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefits outweigh risks, as safety data are limited. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C in the original packaging, protected from moisture.

What does Mefenamic Acid interact with?

Mefenamic Acid can interact with other medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): elevated risk of bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or diuretics: possible reduction in renal function. - Lithium: NSAIDs may raise lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: decreased renal clearance leading to toxicity.

Frequently asked questions

What is Mefenamic Acid Dawa used for?+
Mefenamic Acid Dawa contains the NSAID mefenamic acid and is indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain, including dysmenorrhea, musculoskeletal pain, and other short‑term inflammatory conditions where a non‑selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor is appropriate.
How does mefenamic acid work?+
Mefenamic acid works by non‑selectively inhibiting COX‑1 and COX‑2 enzymes, which blocks the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. The resulting reduction in prostaglandin levels diminishes inflammation, pain signaling, and fever responses.
What is the usual dose of Mefenamic Acid Dawa?+
The specific dose of Mefenamic Acid Dawa is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, age, weight, and response. Typical adult regimens range from 250 mg to 500 mg taken orally, but exact dosing must follow the prescriber’s order.
Is Mefenamic Acid Dawa safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for mefenamic acid in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

How does Mefenamic Acid compare with other NSAIDs?+
Mefenamic acid belongs to the fenamate subclass of NSAIDs and offers a similar analgesic and anti‑inflammatory profile to ibuprofen or naproxen, but it may have a higher incidence of gastrointestinal irritation. Choice of agent depends on individual patient tolerance, drug‑interaction profile, and clinical judgment.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.
How is Mefenamic Acid Dawa administered?+

Who should not use Mefenamic Acid Dawa?+
Mefenamic Acid Dawa should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to mefenamic acid or other fenamates, active peptic ulcer disease, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and in patients taking anticoagulants or other NSAIDs without medical supervision.
