Paracetamol + Mefenamic Suspension

The Paracetamol and Mefenamic Acid Suspension is a medicine that contains both paracetamol and mefenamic acid in a liquid form. This medicine is usually used to help with pain and lower fever. It is made to be a helpful and efficient way to give these medicines to people who can’t easily swallow pills or capsules.

Paracetamol, also called acetaminophen, is a commonly used painkiller and fever reducer that you can buy without a prescription. It stops specific enzymes in the brain that are part of feeling pain and controlling body temperature. Paracetamol is a common medicine that is used to help with mild to moderate pain like headaches, muscle aches, toothaches, and cramps during menstruation. It also helps to lower the body temperature when you have a fever from an infection or another health problem.

Mefenamic Acid is a type of medicine that is part of a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It helps with pain, swelling, and period pain. Mefenamic acid stops the body from making chemicals that cause pain and swelling. It is often given to treat period pain, joint pain, and other swollen body parts.

When you mix paracetamol and mefenamic acid together in a liquid, it helps relieve pain in two different ways. Paracetamol helps with pain and fever, while mefenamic acid reduces swelling. This mix can help a lot when you have both pain and swelling, like during a menstrual period.
