FAQs
Q. What is Mefkind?

Q. Is it safe to use Mefkind?
Yes, Mefkind is safe to use in most of the patients. However, in some patients, it may cause some unwanted common side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhea and other uncommon and rare side effect. Inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problem due to the medication.
Q. Can Mefkind be stopped when the pain is relieved?
Mefkind is usually used for short-term and can be discontinued when the pain is relieved. However, if advised by the doctor, it should be continued for the specified time period as recommended.
Q. Can the use of Mefkind cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of Mefkind can cause nausea and vomiting. To avoid nausea, take it with milk, food or with antacids. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods. In the case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids. Try small frequent sips of the liquid. Talk to the doctor if there is persistent vomiting and signs of dehydration like dark colored and strong-smelling urine and a low frequency of urination. Do not take any other medicines without speaking to a doctor.
Q. Can the use of Mefkind cause dizziness?
Yes, the use of Mefkind can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady or lightheaded) in some patients. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, stop what you are doing and sit or lie down for sometime or until you feel better and do not drive or use any machines.
Q. Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Mefkind?
The use of Mefkind is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to any of the component or excipients of this medicine or in patients with known allergy to other pain killers (NSAIDs). The use of this medicine should preferably be avoided in patients with a history of or active, recurrent stomach ulcer/bleeding and in patients with a history of liver or kidney disease.
