Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you.

How long will delivery take?

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day. Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.

What payment methods can I use?

Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay. FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.

Can Pharmaniaga Mefenemic Acid 250mg Capsule be delivered to Singapore?

Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee. Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.

Is Pharmaniaga Mefenemic Acid 250mg Capsule registered with the authorities?

Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number. An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.

Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?

DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre. For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

This is a non-prescription product and can be purchased without a prescription. Only product, safety and handling details are published on this page.

Directions for Use

Take Pharmaniaga Mefenemic Acid 250mg Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor, swallowing the capsule whole with a full glass of water, preferably with or after food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. Do not open or break the capsule unless specifically instructed to do so by your doctor or pharmacist.

Dosage

The typical prescribed dose for adults is one or two 250mg capsules taken up to three or four times a day as needed for pain, usually for a short course of no more than a few days to a week unless your doctor advises otherwise. Always follow your doctor’s specific dosing instructions and do not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the label.

Shelf Life

Use this medicine before the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton. Do not use capsules beyond their expiry date, and dispose of any unused or expired capsules responsibly rather than storing them for future use.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, keeping capsules in their original blister packaging until ready to use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children at all times.

Relevant Information

Pharmaniaga Mefenemic Acid 250mg Capsule is generally intended for short-term, as-needed pain relief rather than continuous long-term use, and repeated or prolonged courses should only continue under medical supervision given the cumulative NSAID-related risks. Anyone with a history of stomach ulcers, kidney disease, heart disease, or who is elderly should be assessed carefully before starting, and this capsule strength should not be combined with the 500mg tablet variant of mefenamic acid without your doctor’s specific instruction, to avoid unintentionally exceeding the maximum daily dose.
