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.
