Uses / Indications

MEF-SPAS is used for the treatment of pain associated with abdominal cramps and spasms, such as:

• Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea)

• Abdominal colic (intestinal/stomach cramps)

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) spasms

• Post-surgical abdominal pain

• Other spasmodic and inflammatory pain conditions

How It Works

• Mefenamic Acid: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, inflammation, and fever.

• Dicyclomine Hydrochloride: An antispasmodic that relaxes smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, reducing cramps and spasms.

Together, they provide dual relief — pain reduction + muscle relaxation.

Dosage (General Guidance – must be doctor prescribed)

• Typically: 1 tablet 2–3 times a day after meals.

• Dose depends on severity and patient’s condition.

• Not recommended for children unless prescribed by a doctor.

Serious (rare):

• Allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, breathing difficulty)

• Blurred vision, fast heartbeat (from Dicyclomine in sensitive patients)
