Mefenamic Acid 250mg + Dicyclomine 10mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Mefenamic Acid 250mg + Dicyclomine HCL 10mg combines mefenamic acid, an NSAID pain reliever, with dicyclomine, an antispasmodic, for short-term relief of spasmodic abdominal or menstrual cramp pain for this combination. Mefenamic acid reduces prostaglandin-driven pain and inflammation, while dicyclomine relaxes intestinal or uterine smooth-muscle spasm through anticholinergic action. Dicyclomine can cause dry mouth, blurred vision, dizziness, constipation, urinary difficulty, drowsiness, and heat intolerance.

How to use

Take Mefenamic Acid 250mg + Dicyclomine HCL 10mg exactly as prescribed, preferably after food if stomach upset occurs. Avoid driving if drowsy or dizzy. Do not combine with other NSAIDs unless advised.

How it works

Mefenamic acid blocks prostaglandin production. Dicyclomine relaxes smooth-muscle spasm by blocking muscarinic receptors.

Common side effects

Possible effects include nausea, indigestion, abdominal discomfort, dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, and headache. Serious concerns include stomach bleeding, kidney injury, urinary retention, severe allergy, and worsening abdominal emergency symptoms.
