500 mg: More Effective Pain Control
The 500 mg strength provides an appropriate amount of active ingredient for moderate to severe pain where a stronger analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect is needed.
Analgesic and Anti-Inflammatory Action
By inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, the substances that cause pain and inflammation, mefenamic acid helps reduce pain and inflammation.
Active Ingredient
Pain Control with Anti-Inflammatory Action
Mefenamic Acid
NSAID · Fenamate classA non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the fenamate class that relieves pain by reducing the production of substances that cause pain and inflammation.
Mechanism of Action
During pain and inflammation, the body produces prostaglandins, which stimulate pain receptors. By inhibiting the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, mefenamic acid reduces prostaglandin production and thereby controls pain and inflammation.
In simple terms: prostaglandins are the body’s pain messengers; mefenamic acid reduces these messages and lowers the intensity of pain.
Pharmacology
Well absorbed after oral administration, metabolized in the liver and excreted mainly by the kidneys. Its analgesic effect usually appears within a few hours of taking it.
