About Cetamef Syrup

Cetamef Syrup is used for the treatment of pain, inflammation, migraine headache, period pain, heavy bleeding during periods, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body.

Cetamef Syrup contains Mefenamic acid and Paracetamol, which block the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which produces other chemical prostaglandins.

Cetamef Syrup may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, heartburn, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Cetamef Syrup may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.

How Cetamef Syrup Works

Cetamef Syrup contains two drugs, Mefenamic acid and Paracetamol. Cetamef Syrup blocks the action of a chemical messenger known as the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme, which produces 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.
