What is Mefenamic Acid?
Active Ingredients: Mefenamic Acid
Mefenamic Acid Capsules are a drug used for the short-term relief of mild to moderate pain. This medication is used to treat the pain or inflammation associated with menstrual periods, arthritis, and other conditions. Mefenamic Acid may also be used to decrease blood loss during menstrual periods.
Mefenamic acid is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Mefenamic Acid works by stopping the body's production of cyclooxygenase, which causes pain, fever, and inflammation.
