Mefenamic Acid is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain in several musculoskeletal and gynecologic conditions. - Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic relief for acute or chronic pain episodes. - Dysmenorrhea: alleviates menstrual cramps and associated discomfort. - Inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions: reduces swelling and improves mobility in conditions such as arthritis.

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

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal pain. - Diarrhea: loose stools occurring intermittently. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: transient sensation of light‑headedness. - Skin rash: mild erythema or itching. - Mouth ulcers: painful lesions on oral mucosa.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding: potentially life‑threatening hemorrhage. - Renal impairment: reduced kidney function or acute renal failure. - Severe hypersensitivity: anaphylaxis, angioedema or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis.

When prescribing Mefenamic Acid, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures to minimize risk. - Assess renal function: avoid use in patients with severe renal impairment. - Evaluate gastrointestinal risk: use with caution in history of ulcers or bleeding. - Monitor cardiovascular status: NSAIDs may increase risk of thrombotic events. - Use the lowest effective dose: limit duration to the shortest necessary period. - Pregnancy and lactation: avoid in the third trimester and assess benefit‑risk in pregnancy. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original packaging, protected from moisture.

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

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 ARBs: may reduce antihypertensive effect and impair renal function. - Diuretics: potential for reduced diuretic efficacy and renal compromise. - Lithium: NSAIDs can increase lithium serum concentrations.
