What Experts Say

Gynecologists in Lahore and Karachi commonly suggest mefenamic acid for period pain, since it targets the prostaglandins responsible for cramping more directly than simple paracetamol. Many women across Pakistan keep this tablet on hand for the first day or two of their monthly cycle, when cramping tends to be strongest.

General physicians in Islamabad and Rawalpindi also prescribe it for short episodes of headache, toothache or minor injury related pain when a stronger anti inflammatory effect is needed. It generally works within an hour and is best taken right after a meal.

Doctors typically limit its use to short courses of a few days, since longer use raises the risk of stomach irritation and, less commonly, kidney strain. Anyone with a history of ulcers, kidney disease or heart problems should check with a doctor before regular use, and pregnant women should avoid it unless specifically advised.
