🧬 Introduction – What is Meftal 250 mg?

Meftal 250 mg, produced by Blue Cross Laboratories Ltd., is a trusted nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing Mefenamic Acid. It is primarily used for the management of moderate pain, menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), and inflammatory disorders. Known for its fast onset of action and gastrointestinal tolerability compared to other NSAIDs, Meftal is widely prescribed in India and other markets for short-term relief.

Mefenamic Acid works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, the natural chemical messengers that trigger inflammation and pain. This makes it particularly effective in conditions like muscle pain, dental pain, arthritis flares, and fever.
