Composition:-
Drotaverine 80 mg + Mefenamic acid 250mg
Uses:-
Drotaverine 80 mg and Mefenamic Acid 250 mg tablets are a combination medication used primarily for the relief of pain and muscle spasms. Drotaverine is an antispasmodic that helps to relieve smooth muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, bile duct, and urinary tract. Mefenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain. Together, these ingredients effectively manage conditions such as menstrual cramps, abdominal pain, and pain due to spasms in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.
Side Effects:-
Common side effects of this combination tablet may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headache. Some individuals might experience gastrointestinal discomfort such as indigestion, abdominal pain, or diarrhea. Mefenamic acid, being an NSAID, can sometimes cause more serious gastrointestinal issues like ulcers or bleeding, especially with long-term use. Allergic reactions, though rare, can occur and may present as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience severe side effects such as persistent stomach pain, dark stools, or symptoms of an allergic reaction, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
Indication:-
This medication is indicated for the treatment and relief of moderate to severe pain associated with muscle spasms. It is particularly effective for menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), abdominal pain due to spasms in the intestines or bile duct, and pain from urinary tract conditions. It can also be used to manage pain from various gastrointestinal disorders. The combination of drotaverine and mefenamic acid addresses both the muscle spasm and the inflammation, providing comprehensive pain relief.
