Mefenamic Acid + Dicyclomine Tablets
Dicyclomine + Mefenamic Acid treats abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), and colicky pain. Abdominal (belly) pain is between the chest and the pelvic area (below the belly button and legs). Menstrual cramps, called dysmenorrhea, are cramps and pains during menstruation. A colic is a type of pain that begins and ends quickly.
Dicyclomine + Mefenamic Acid is a combination of Dicyclomine (an anti-spasmodic) and Mefenamic acid (an NSAID). Dicyclomine relaxes contractions of the smooth muscles of the abdomen. Mefenamic acid inhibits the action of chemical messengers known as prostaglandins. This prevents mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the site of injury or damage. Dicyclomine + Mefenamic Acid collectively alleviates pain.
