About Mefenamic Acid (MYREFEN) 500mg Capsule 100’s

Mefenamic Acid (MYREFEN) 500mg Capsule is a trusted NSAID used to manage various pain-related conditions. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which plays a key role in the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemicals responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, MYREFEN effectively alleviates symptoms associated with inflammation and pain.

Each capsule contains 500mg of mefenamic acid and is manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards to ensure consistent efficacy and patient safety. MYREFEN is suitable for short-term use and is commonly prescribed in both outpatient and clinical settings.

This formulation is designed for oral administration and is typically well tolerated when taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. The 100-capsule pack is ideal for long-term prescriptions and institutional supply.
