About
Mefenamic Spas Tablet is a combination medication primarily used to alleviate abdominal pain and cramps, particularly those associated with conditions like dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It contains two active ingredients: Mefenamic acid, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Dicyclomine, an anticholinergic and antispasmodic agent. Mefenamic acid works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers in the body responsible for causing pain and inflammation. This action helps to reduce the intensity of pain. Dicyclomine, on the other hand, acts directly on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, relaxing them and thereby relieving spasms and cramping. This dual mechanism of action provides comprehensive relief by targeting both the pain and the underlying muscle spasms, making it effective for various types of visceral pain. The tablet is designed to offer symptomatic relief, improving comfort and quality of life during painful episodes.
