How Mefenamic Acid Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your body has a "pain alarm system" that goes off when you have inflammation or injury. Mefenamic Acid works like a smart security guard—it blocks the production of chemicals called prostaglandins that trigger pain, swelling, and fever. This means:

- Quick relief so you can continue with your daily activities
