Mefenamic Acid (500 Mg) + Paracetamol/acetaminophen (325 Mg)

Meftagesic Tablet is used to manage mild to moderate pain, including dental pain, menstrual cramps, muscle aches and headaches, and to reduce fever.

It contains mefenamic acid, an anti-inflammatory painkiller (NSAID), and paracetamol. Together they block the chemicals that signal pain and inflammation and help lower a fever.

Take it after meals to reduce stomach upset, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.

Tell your doctor about any history of asthma, stomach ulcers or kidney disease before starting, and report black or tarry stools.

Meftagesic Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Mefenamic Acid (500 mg): This component works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes in your body. These enzymes are responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking their production, mefenamic acid helps reduce these symptoms.
Paracetamol (325 mg): This ingredient acts on the hypothalamus - the heat-regulating centre in your brain - to reduce fever. It also increases your body's pain threshold by inhibiting COX enzymes, thereby reducing pain perception.
