How Meftal-Spas Tablet works
Meftal-Spas Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Dicyclomine and Mefenamic Acid which relieve abdominal pain and cramps. Dicyclomine is an anticholinergic which works by relaxing the muscles in the stomach and gut (intestine). It stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms), thereby relieving cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort. Mefenamic Acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause abdominal pain and inflammation (swelling).

If you experience any persistent problem due to the medication, inform your doctor as soon as possible.
Q. Can I stop taking Meftal-Spas when my pain is relieved?
Meftal-Spas is usually used for short term and can be discontinued when your pain is relieved. However, Meftal-Spas should be continued if your doctor has advised you to do so.
Q. Can the use of Meftal-Spas cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of Meftal-Spas can cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food or antacids can prevent nausea. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. Talk to your doctor if vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration, like dark colored and strong-smelling urine and a low frequency of urination. Do not take any other medicine without speaking to your doctor.
Q. Can the use of Meftal-Spas cause dry mouth?

Q. Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Meftal-Spas?
The use of Meftal-Spas is considered harmful for patients with known allergy to any of the components or excipients of this medicine or in patients with known allergy to other painkillers (NSAIDs). The use of this medicine should preferably be avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcers or in patients with active, recurrent stomach ulcer or bleeding.
