Menstrual Pain (Dysmenorrhea): One of the most common uses due to its effect on uterine contractions. Mild to Moderate Pain: Muscle aches, toothaches, and joint pain. Fever: Effective in reducing high body temperature in both adults and children. Post-operative Pain: Short-term relief following minor surgeries.

Mefenamic Acid works by blocking the COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, which stops the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are the primary chemicals that cause inflammation and trigger uterine contractions during periods. Paracetamol primarily acts on the central nervous system. It raises the body's overall pain threshold and acts on the heat-regulating center in the brain (the hypothalamus) to reduce fever.

Common: Nausea, stomach pain, or heartburn. Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea (specifically associated with Mefenamic Acid) or indigestion. Rare: Skin rash, dizziness, or elevated liver enzymes (if taken in high doses).
