About the Medicine

Meftal-Forte Tablet is a widely used pain relief medicine that helps manage pain, inflammation, fever, and various discomforts associated with several health conditions. It is commonly prescribed for menstrual pain (period cramps), migraine headaches, joint pain, toothache, muscle pain, ear pain, post-surgical pain, fever, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Pain occurs when the nervous system detects tissue injury or inflammation, leading to uncomfortable sensations in the body. Meftal-Forte Tablet provides quick and effective relief by targeting the underlying cause of the pain and reducing inflammation.

This tablet contains two active ingredients — Mefenamic Acid and Paracetamol — that work together to relieve pain and fever efficiently.

Composition and Working Mechanism

�� Mefenamic Acid

Mefenamic Acid belongs to the class of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the Cyclo-Oxygenase (COX) enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins — natural chemicals in the body that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. By inhibiting these chemicals, it helps reduce discomfort and promotes faster recovery.

�� Paracetamol

Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen) is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It helps lower body temperature during fever and provides additional pain relief, making Meftal-Forte an effective combination medicine for both pain and fever management.

Together, these two ingredients provide dual-action relief — reducing inflammation and lowering fever while effectively managing mild to moderate pain.
