Mefenamic Acid (Ponstan^®SF 250) can help you in many ways than one

Body Pain

Mefenamic Acid (Ponstan^® SF 250), containing mefenamic acid, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve various types of body pain. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. This makes it effective for treating moderate to severe pain, including headaches, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps.^1,2

Joint Pain

Joint pain can significantly impact daily activities. Mefanamic Acid (Ponstan^® SF 250), helps manage joint pain by reducing inflammation and providing pain relief. Its action on prostaglandins helps decrease the pain and swelling in the joints, making it easier for individuals to move and perfom daily tasks.^1,3

Muscle Pain
Muscle pain, often resulting from overuse, tension, or minor injuries, can be effectively managed with Mefenamic Acid (Ponstan^® SF 250). The anti-inflammatory properties of mefenamic acid help reduce swelling and alleviate pain by blocking the enzymes responsible for prostaglandin production.^1,4

Tooth Pain
Often caused by dental issues such as cavities or gum disease, can be quite debilitating. Mefenamic Acid (Ponstan^® SF 250) is effective in relieving dental pain due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. By reducing the production of prostaglandins, it helps alleviate the pain and inflammation associated with dental problems.^1,5

Menstrual pain
Otherwise known as dysmenorrhea, is a common issue for many women. Mefenamic Acid (Ponstan^® SF 250) is particularly effective in treating menstrual cramps by reducing the levels of prostaglandins in the uterus, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation during menstruation. This helps in providing significant relief from menstrual cramps and associated discomfort.^1,5
