Mesima – 60 Capsules

Mesima is a brand name for mefenamic acid, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for short-term relief of mild to moderate pain and inflammation. It is available in capsule form, with each pack containing 60 capsules. This medication is typically prescribed for conditions like menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), dental pain, headache, and musculoskeletal pain. It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Mesima is manufactured by various pharmaceutical companies, often in India or other regions, and is sold over-the-counter or by prescription depending on local regulations.
