About Meftinac P DS Oral Suspension

Meftinac P DS Oral Suspension is used for the treatment of pain, inflammation, migraine headache, period pain, heavy bleeding during periods, muscle pain, tooth pain, joint pain, pain after surgery, ear pain, fever, flu, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body.

Meftinac P DS Oral Suspension contains two drugs, Mefenamic acid and Paracetamol. Meftinac P DS Oral Suspension blocks the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

You are advised to take Meftinac P DS Oral Suspension for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Meftinac P DS Oral Suspension may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, heartburn, and diarrhoea.
