How Mefenamic Acid & Paracetamol Work
Mefenamic Acid belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) group. It works mainly by reducing the production of prostaglandins, substances involved in pain and inflammation. As a result, it can help reduce pain and inflammatory discomfort.
Paracetamol works mainly through central mechanisms involved in pain and temperature regulation. Therefore, it helps relieve pain and reduce fever.
Together, these ingredients provide analgesic activity and may help manage selected painful conditions when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
MEXAMEF-P Side Effects
Like other medicines, MEXAMEF-P may cause side effects in some people.
Possible side effects include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stomach discomfort
- Indigestion
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Headache
- Dizziness
Mefenamic Acid may cause stomach irritation because it belongs to the NSAID group. In addition, prolonged or excessive use of NSAIDs can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and other complications.
Paracetamol is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. However, taking more than the recommended amount can cause serious liver damage.
If you experience severe stomach pain, vomiting blood, black stools, difficulty breathing, swelling or other unusual symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

Before using MEXAMEF-P, tell your doctor if you:
- Have an allergy to Mefenamic Acid, Paracetamol, other NSAIDs or any ingredient in the formulation
- Have a history of stomach ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding
- Have kidney or liver problems
- Have heart disease or high blood pressure
- Have asthma that becomes worse after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs
- Have a bleeding disorder

Do not take MEXAMEF-P together with other medicines containing Paracetamol unless your healthcare professional advises you to do so. Taking excessive amounts of Paracetamol can seriously damage the liver.
Also, avoid combining Mefenamic Acid with other NSAIDs unless specifically advised by your doctor. Tell your healthcare professional about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and supplements you use.

Mefenamic Acid & Paracetamol Suspension Information
MEXAMEF-P combines Mefenamic Acid 100 mg and Paracetamol 250 mg in an oral suspension.
Mefenamic Acid provides NSAID-based analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, while Paracetamol helps relieve pain and reduce fever. This combination may therefore be useful for selected painful conditions, including certain types of colic and dysmenorrhoea, when prescribed appropriately.
Because abdominal and pelvic pain can have different causes, persistent or severe pain should be evaluated by a healthcare professional rather than managed only with pain medicines.
