Special Precautions
In patients suffering from dehydration and renal disease, particularly the elderly, concurrent therapy with other plasma protein binding drugs may decessitate a modification in dosage. In the case of anticoagulants, the dose of the anticoagulant may need to be reduced. The safety of Mefenamic Acid in pregnancy and in children under 14 years of age has not been established.
Use In Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy: Congenital abnormalities have been reported in association with NSAID administration in man; however, these are low in frequency and do not appear to follow any discernible pattern. In view of the known effects of NSAIDs on the fetal cardiovascular system (risk of closure of the ductus arteriosus), use in the last trimester of pregnancy is contraindicated. The onset of labor may be delayed and the duration increased with an increased bleeding tendency in both mother and child. NSAIDs should not be used during first trimesters of pregnancy or labor unless the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.
Lactation: Trace amounts of mefenamic acid may be present in breast milk and transmitted to the nursing infant. Therefore, mefenamic acid should not be taken by nursing mothers.

Adverse Reactions
Gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea or gas constipation, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness and dizziness have been observed. Signs of hemolytic anemia should be watched in cases when the drug is taken on prolonged period of time. As in all inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis, Mefenamic Acid can affect platelet function. In large doses the drug may induce Grand Mal convulsions hence it is suggested to avoid this in epileptics.
Drug Interactions
Concomitant therapy with other plasma protein binding drugs may necessitate a modification of dosage. In the case of anticoagulants frequent monitoring of prothrombin time is necessary.
Storage
Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
Action
Pharmacology: Mefenamic Acid is a unique analgesic with dual action. It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and blocks its action at the receptor site.
