Meftal-P<\/strong> is een mefenamic acid 100 mg tablet<\/strong> — the paediatric or low-dose strength of this fenamate-class NSAID. It is used for fever, mild-to-moderate pain, and menstrual pain<\/strong>. In children, the dose is weight-based (~6.5 mg\/kg three times daily)<\/strong>; adults typically take 2 to 3 tablets (200–300 mg) three times daily<\/strong>. Take with food. Mefenamic acid has a particularly strong evidence base for primaire dysmenorroe (menstruatiepijn)<\/strong>, where it is among the most effective NSAIDs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \ud83d\udce6 Elke bestelling is gedekt door onze Reshipment Assurance Policy<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 als uw pakket niet binnen 20 werkdagen arriveert, sturen wij het opnieuw.<\/p>\n Onze generieke medicijnen zijn afkomstig van WHO-GMP gecertificeerde fabrikanten en worden wereldwijd verzonden in discrete, eenvoudige verpakkingen \u2014 geen medicijnnaam op de buitenkant van het pakket.

The 100 mg strength is the paediatric dose tablet in many markets; it is also used at multi-tablet doses in adults when a low starting dose or fine titration is preferred. The adult high-strength form is the 250 mg and 500 mg Meftal tablet.<\/p>\n Mefenamic acid is notable for its strong effect on primary dysmenorrhoea<\/strong> (period pain). The pain mechanism of dysmenorrhoea is driven by uterine prostaglandin production, and mefenamic acid blocks both prostaglandin synthesis (COX inhibition) and prostaglandin action at the receptor — a dual mechanism that gives it a slight edge over ibuprofen in some head-to-head dysmenorrhoea trials.<\/p>\n Always take with food or milk. Swallow whole with water. Meftal-P tablets are small enough that they can usually be halved for paediatric weight-based dosing if necessary. For very young children, the paediatric suspension is often more convenient.<\/p>\n Mefenamic acid is a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor (blocking both COX-1 and COX-2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis at sites of inflammation, injury, and within the uterus. Unlike other NSAIDs, mefenamic acid also has direct antagonist activity at prostaglandin receptors — which contributes to its particular effectiveness in period pain and uterine-mediated pain.<\/p>\n GI-veiligheid.<\/strong> Meftal-P (or its NSAID component) carries real risk of gastritis, peptic ulcer, and upper-GI bleeding. Risk is highest in patients over 65, in those with prior ulcer disease, and in anyone also on low-dose aspirin, corticosteroids, SSRIs, or anticoagulants. Take with food, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest reasonable time, and ask your doctor about adding a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, pantoprazole) for courses over 2–4 weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Stop mefenamic acid immediately if persistent or bloody diarrhoea develops — this is a known adverse reaction that does not always resolve simply by continuing therapy.<\/p>\n MedsBase biedt wereldwijde verzending bij elke bestelling.

In children it is a weight-based fever and pain medicine; in adults it is used at 2–3 tablet doses or, more commonly, the higher-strength Meftal 250\/500 mg is used.<\/p>\n No — the 100 mg strength is labelled paediatric but is also used in adults when a fine dose titration or low dose is preferred. For adult dysmenorrhoea and pain, the 250 or 500 mg Meftal tablet is usually more practical.<\/p>\n Both are non-selective NSAIDs. Mefenamic acid has a slight edge in dysmenorrhoea because it also blocks prostaglandin receptors directly. It is more prone to diarrhoea as a side effect and is usually used for shorter courses than ibuprofen.<\/p>\n Dose is approximately 6.5 mg per kg of body weight, 3 times daily, after food, for up to 7 days. A 15 kg child gets roughly one 100 mg tablet three times daily. Always confirm with a paediatrician and use a scale — do not estimate weight.<\/p>\n No — always give after food or milk. Mefenamic acid on an empty stomach often causes immediate indigestion.<\/p>\n Mefenamic acid has a specific, relatively common association with diarrhoea that is not shared to the same degree by other NSAIDs. The mechanism is not fully understood but is likely related to effects on intestinal prostaglandins. Persistent or bloody diarrhoea is a reason to stop.<\/p>\n Short courses (up to 7 days) for acute pain or fever. For dysmenorrhoea, typically 2–3 days per menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n Avoid after 20 weeks; contraindicated in the third trimester. Use in early pregnancy only on medical advice; paracetamol is first-line.<\/p>\n Yes. They work on different pathways and can be alternated or combined at correctly-weighed paediatric doses. This is common practice for high persistent fever in children under paediatric supervision.<\/p>\n Yes, although the 250 or 500 mg Meftal tablet is usually more convenient for adult dosing. At 100 mg, a typical adult starting dose is 2 tablets (200 mg) three times daily for the first 2–3 days of a cycle.<\/p>\n If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes of the dose, repeat the dose once. If vomiting occurs later than 30 minutes, do not repeat — most absorption has already happened. If vomiting is persistent, contact your paediatrician.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Andere producten in Chronische aandoeningen<\/strong> die klanten ook bekijken:<\/p>\n \u2705 Verlicht menstruatiepijn Meftal-P contains Mefenamic Acid.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":58726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3141,3223,3555],"product_tag":[4553,4555],"class_list":{"0":"post-58725","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-category-overview","7":"product_cat-chronic-conditions","8":"product_cat-pain-relief-medication","9":"product_tag-mefenamic-acid","10":"product_tag-meftal-p","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-variable","17":"has-default-attributes"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/58725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=58725"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=58725"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=58725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Waarom bestellen bij MedsBase<\/h3>\n
