Camylofin (50mg) + Mefenamic Acid (250mg)

Camylofin (50mg) + Mefenamic Acid (250mg) — Uses and Benefits

This combination medicine is mainly used to relieve pain associated with muscle spasms in the abdomen and uterus, such as menstrual cramps and colicky abdominal pain.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Relief of abdominal cramps due to spasm of gut muscles
• Relief of painful menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhoea)
• Relief of colicky pain from the urinary or biliary tract in some cases

HOW IT WORKS

• Camylofin relaxes the smooth muscles of the stomach, intestines and uterus, reducing spasm and cramping
• Mefenamic acid blocks certain chemicals (prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation
• Together they relieve both the spasm and the associated pain

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• It is not meant for chronic long-term pain conditions like arthritis
• It is not a treatment for infections, fever alone, or peptic ulcer pain
• It should not be used for headache or general body pain unrelated to spasm
• It is not a substitute for a proper diagnosis if pain is severe or persistent
