The usual dosage is one tablet every 6 hours as needed for pain relief.

Amifena tablets are indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain, including menstrual pain.

Contraindications:

Do not use Amifena if you have a history of allergic reactions to mefenamic acid or other NSAIDs.

Scientific Evidence:

Studies have shown that mefenamic acid, the active ingredient in Amifena tablets, is effective in relieving pain and inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that play a key role in the inflammatory process, and by blocking their production, mefenamic acid helps reduce pain and swelling.

Research published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology has demonstrated the efficacy of mefenamic acid in the treatment of menstrual pain, showing significant improvements in pain scores and quality of life measures compared to placebo.

Additional Information:

It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the maximum daily dose to avoid potential side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation or ulcers. If you experience any adverse reactions while taking Amifena tablets, consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Before using this medication, inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking to prevent potential drug interactions.
