Indications & Clinical Uses

Mefenamic acid is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

  • Dysmenorrhea: provides relief from menstrual cramps and associated pain.
  • Musculoskeletal pain: alleviates pain from strains, sprains, and low‑back discomfort.
  • Inflammatory conditions: reduces swelling and discomfort in conditions such as osteoarthritis or soft‑tissue inflammation.

How It Works

  • Mefenamic acid exerts its effect through non‑selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, which blocks the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. The resulting decrease in prostaglandin synthesis diminishes inflammation, pain signaling, and fever generation throughout the body.

Side Effects

Mefenamic acid may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are dose‑related and reversible.

Common Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, abdominal discomfort, or dyspepsia.
  • Headache or dizziness.
  • Diarrhea.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding.
  • Renal impairment or reduced kidney function.
  • Severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.
  • Hepatic dysfunction.
  • Anaphylactic or severe allergic reactions.
  • Blood dyscrasias including agranulocytosis.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should evaluate patient‑specific risk factors and monitor for adverse events.

  • Renal function: assess baseline kidney status and monitor during treatment.
  • Gastrointestinal risk: consider co‑administration with food or antacids to lessen irritation.
  • Cardiovascular health: avoid in patients with uncontrolled hypertension or heart failure.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: use only if clearly needed after risk‑benefit assessment.
  • Drug interactions: review concomitant NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and antihypertensives.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original packaging, protected from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Mefenamic acid can interact with several drug classes, requiring careful assessment.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding.
  • Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: additive gastrointestinal toxicity.
  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): heightened hemorrhage risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • ACE inhibitors or diuretics: may reduce renal function.
  • Lithium: NSAIDs can raise lithium serum concentrations.
  • Methotrexate: reduced clearance may lead to toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mefenamic Acid Tillomed is a prescription NSAID indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain, including dysmenorrhea, musculoskeletal aches, and other inflammatory conditions where prostaglandin‑mediated inflammation is a primary factor.

Mefenamic acid works by non‑selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels lead to decreased inflammation, pain signaling, and fever, providing symptomatic relief.

The dosage of mefenamic acid is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, age, weight, and response to therapy. The prescriber will select an appropriate regimen that balances efficacy with safety.

Safety data for mefenamic acid in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only when clearly needed and after a thorough risk‑benefit assessment by a healthcare professional. Breastfeeding mothers should consult their physician before use.

Mefenamic acid is a non‑selective NSAID similar to ibuprofen and naproxen but often chosen for its efficacy in dysmenorrhea. Compared with COX‑2 selective agents, it has a broader COX inhibition profile, which may increase gastrointestinal risk but can provide stronger anti‑inflammatory effects in certain patients.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources. Ensure the packaging remains intact until the point of use to maintain product stability.

Mefenamic Acid Tillomed is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with food or after meals to lessen gastrointestinal irritation. Patients should follow the dosing schedule prescribed by their healthcare provider.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, renal impairment, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, hepatic dysfunction, and rare blood disorders. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs of bleeding, severe rash, or unexplained fatigue.

Mefenamic acid should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug or other NSAIDs, active peptic ulcer disease, severe renal or hepatic impairment, uncontrolled hypertension, and in patients who are in the third trimester of pregnancy. A healthcare professional should evaluate suitability before prescribing.
