About Meftal MR Tablet
Meftal MR Tablet belongs to a group of NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) medicines used to provide relief from abdominal cramps caused before and during the menstrual cycle. Abdominal cramps are throbbing pains in the lower abdomen due to the menstrual cycle every month in females. In some females, the pain and discomfort caused due to menstruation are so severe that they have to take some medicine to lower the pain intensity.
Meftal MR Tablet is a combination drug that contains 'mefenamic acid' and 'Tizanidine.' Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, that make another chemical, 'prostaglandins' (PG) which are responsible for causing pain. Tizanidine works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relax the intestine or stomach muscles and stops muscle contractions. Collectively, both of them help to relieve pain, bloating, cramps, and discomfort caused.

Medicinal Benefits
Meftal MR Tablet is a combination drug that contains 'mefenamic acid' and 'Tizanidine.' Mefenamic acid belongs to a group of medicines called NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug), used to relieve mild to moderate pain associated with period pain, symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and management of excessively heavy periods. Meftal MR Tablet works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical, 'prostaglandins' (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzymes' effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Tizanidine works in the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relax the intestine or stomach muscles and stops muscle contractions. Collectively, both of them help to relieve pain, bloating, cramps, and discomfort caused.
