What Experts Say

Mefenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug. It blocks enzymes that make prostaglandins, the chemicals behind pain, swelling and uterine cramps. Doctors commonly pick it for period pain because the drug acts directly on the prostaglandins behind the cramps.

This is why it is commonly chosen for period pain, where raised prostaglandins cause strong contractions. It also helps toothache and muscle pain. It is not a long term pain solution, and ongoing or severe pain should be investigated rather than treated with repeated courses.

It is meant for short courses, normally no longer than 7 days. Taking it with food lowers stomach irritation, and people with ulcers, kidney disease, asthma or heart disease need medical advice first. Drinking enough water and avoiding combined NSAIDs, such as diclofenac or ibuprofen alongside it, lowers the risk of stomach and kidney trouble.
