Description
Meftal Tablets (mefenamic acid) are a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with acute musculoskeletal disorders, such as sprains, strains, injuries, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. They are also effective in alleviating dental pain, post-operative pain, and menstrual cramps.
Dosage/Directions: The typical dosage for adults is 500 mg initially, followed by 250 mg every 6 hours as needed. It’s important to take Meftal with food to minimize stomach upset. The duration of treatment should be as short as possible to reduce the risk of side effects.
Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and dizziness. Serious side effects can include gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. If you experience any severe side effects, seek medical attention immediately.
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and consult them if you have any concerns or questions about taking Meftal Tablets.
