Meftal-Spas tablet is an effective medicine (efficacy may vary from person to person) used to treat abdominal (tummy) pain, dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps or period pain), and colicky pain. Abdominal pain occurs between the chest and pelvic region (below the belly button and leg). Menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, are characterized by cramps and pain during menstruation. A colicky pain is a form of severe pain that starts and stops abruptly.
The Meftal-Spas tablet is specifically designed as a dual-action painkiller to combat debilitating pain at its source. This tablet is not just a painkiller; it is a combination medicine that tackles both the pain and the muscle spasms that cause it. Meftal-Spas composition consists of two drugs - dicyclomine (anti-spasmodic) and mefenamic acid (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug - NSAID).
Dicyclomine works by directly relaxing the smooth muscles in the abdomen and uterus that are clenched. Mefenamic acid is a painkiller that works by blocking the effects of chemical messengers (prostaglandins), thereby reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Meftal-Spas tablets help relieve pain.

How Meftal Spas works
- The Meftal-Spas tablet provides relief from pain as its composition has two ingredients that work in different ways. Together, Mefenamic Acid targets the chemical cause of pain, while Dicyclomine targets the physical muscle cramps.
- Mefenamic Acid (250mg): This is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID). When you have your period, your body releases chemicals called prostaglandins. These chemicals cause the muscles in your uterus to contract, leading to cramps and pain. Mefenamic Acid works by blocking the action of prostaglandins, thereby effectively reducing both pain and inflammation.
- Dicyclomine (10mg): This is an antispasmodic that acts as a muscle relaxant, sending a message directly to the muscles that are clenching, telling them to "unclench" and relax. This action directly relieves the physical spasm, which is the source of the cramping sensation.
