MEFTAL FORTE TAB 10 S

About

MEFTAL FORTE TAB contains Mefenamic Acid, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) known for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are chemical mediators involved in the body's inflammatory response, pain perception, and fever generation. By reducing prostaglandin production, Mefenamic Acid effectively alleviates pain, reduces swelling, and lowers fever associated with various conditions.

The 'Forte' designation often indicates a higher strength formulation, providing more potent relief for moderate to severe pain. It is particularly effective in managing pain associated with menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), muscle and joint pain, dental pain, and post-operative pain. Its rapid onset of action makes it a suitable choice for acute pain management, offering significant relief and improving patient comfort. However, like all NSAIDs, it should be used judiciously and for the shortest duration possible to minimize potential side effects.
