Mefenamic Acid and Dicyclomine Tablets are a combination medicine used to relieve pain and associated spasms, particularly in the digestive or menstrual system.

Here are the key details:

• Composition:

  • Mefenamic Acid – a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that relieves pain and inflammation.

  • Dicyclomine – an antispasmodic that relaxes smooth muscles in the gastrointestinal or uterine tract.

• Main Use:

  • Relief of menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) accompanied by cramps or spasms.

  • Relief of abdominal pain due to intestinal or stomach spasms.

• How It Works:

  • Mefenamic acid reduces pain and inflammation by blocking prostaglandin production.

  • Dicyclomine relaxes smooth muscles, reducing cramps and spasms in the gut or uterus.

• Administration: Taken orally, usually 1–2 times daily as directed by the doctor. Tablets should be taken with water and preferably after meals to reduce stomach upset.

• Common Side Effects: Nausea, vomiting, mild stomach upset, dizziness, dry mouth, or blurred vision.

• Serious Concerns: Rarely, it may cause stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, allergic reactions, severe dizziness, or heart or kidney problems with long-term use.
