Mefenamic Acid: Mechanism and Effects by BeeBee Seth is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Mefenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat pain, including menstrual pain. It is typically prescribed for oral administration and works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Common side effects include headaches, nausea, and rashes. Serious side effects may include gastrointestinal bleeding. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine, so dosage may need to be adjusted for patients with liver or kidney impairment.
