Mefenamic acid is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, including menstrual pain (pain that happens before or during a menstrual period). Mefenamic acid is in a class of medications called NSAIDs. It works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation.
Mefenamic Acid is used in patients 14 years and older to relieve pain. It decreases the hormone in the body that causes inflammation and pain. Mefenamic Acid is used only for short-term (7 days or less). This drug is also used to relieve menstrual cramps.
