About Mefagan Spas Tablet

Mefagan Spas Tablet is used to treat abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (period pain), and colicky pain. Abdominal (tummy) pain occurs between the chest and pelvic region (below the belly button and leg). Menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, are characterised by cramps and pain during menstruation. A colic is a form of pain that starts and stops abruptly.

Mefagan Spas Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Dicyclomine (anti-spasmodic) and Mefenamic acid (NSAID). Dicyclomine works by relieving contractions associated with the smooth muscles of the abdomen. Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers called prostaglandins. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Mefagan Spas Tablet helps in relieving pain.

You are advised to take Mefagan Spas Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Mefagan Spas Tablet may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dry mouth, and weakness.
