Mefenamic Acid is a prescription medication classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Available in both branded (Ponstel) and generic forms, it works by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins—chemicals associated with pain and inflammation. For a more comprehensive understanding of this drug, consult the patient information leaflet or speak with a healthcare professional.

Period pain, medically known as dysmenorrhea, can be caused by a variety of factors including:

1. Contraction of the Uterus: The primary cause of period cramps.
2. Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
3. Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus.

Many women experience period pain at various stages of their lives. The severity and frequency can differ from one individual to another. Mefenamic Acid effectively reduces pain and lessens menstrual blood flow. Unlike over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol, it has proven to be more effective in providing relief.
