About Etosys MF Tablet

Etosys MF Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat dysmenorrhea (period pain) and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding). Besides this, Etosys MF Tablet is also used to treat severe blood loss, swelling in various body parts, fever, inflammation, and migraine headache. Menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, are characterized by cramps and pain during menstruation. Menorrhagia is a condition with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding during menstruation/periods.

Etosys MF Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Tranexamic acid (anti-fibrinolytic) and Mefenamic acid (NSAID). Tranexamic acid helps the body's natural blood clot process by preventing fibrin's breakdown, this stops fibrinolysis, a process that stops blood clot formation. Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, indigestion, heartburn, and headache.

Uses of Etosys MF Tablet

Treatment of Dysmenorrhea (period pain) and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding).

Medicinal Benefits

Etosys MF Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Tranexamic acid and Mefenamic acid. Etosys MF Tablet is used to treat abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (period pain), and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding). Additionally, Etosys MF Tablet is also used to treat severe blood loss, swelling in various body parts, fever, inflammation, and migraine headache. Tranexamic acid is an anti-fibrinolytic agent that helps the body's natural blood clot process by preventing fibrin's breakdown, this stops fibrinolysis, a process that stops blood clot formation. Mefenamic acid is an NSAID that works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Etosys MF Tablet helps treat heavy bleeding and pains/cramps during periods.
