PHARMACODYNAMICS:
Analgesic action: It may block out pain impulse generation via a
peripheral action which may involve inhibition
of the synthesis of prostaglandins, and possibly inhibition of the
synthesis or action of other substances which
sensitise pain receptors to mechanical or chemical stimulation.
Anti-inflammatory action: It may act peripherally in inflamed tissue,
probably by inhibiting the synthesis of
prostaglandins and possibly by inhibiting the synthesis and/or actions
of
other local mediators of the
inflammatory response.
PHARMACOKINETICS:
Mefenamic Acid is absorbed from the GIT. Peak concentrations on the
circulation occur about 2 hours after
ingestion. Mefenamic Acid is extensively bound to plasma proteins.
Approximately 50% of a dose may be
recovered in the urine within 48 hours, mainly as conjugated
metabolites.
INDICATIONS:
Mild to moderate pain such as muscular aches, backaches, dental pain,
bursitis, dysmenorrhoea, rheumatic
pain, traumatic pain, headaches of most aetiology, postoperative and
postpartum pain, rheumatoid arthritis
(including Still’s disease) osteoarthritis and menorrhagia due to
dysfunctional causes.
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE:
Adults: Pain - 500 mg initially, followed by 250 mg every 6 hours as
necessary. Treatment should not be
continued for longer than 7 days.
Dysmenorrhoea - Medication should be initiated with the onset of
bleeding and associated symptoms and should
not be necessary for more than 2 - 3 days.
