Introduction
Melgesic 250mg Capsule is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) from the fenamate group, with mefenamic acid as its active ingredient, taken orally to ease pain and inflammation. As an NSAID, it works by reducing certain chemical messengers in the body responsible for pain and swelling, but this same mechanism means it can affect the stomach lining and, in some cases, kidney function with prolonged use. Common experiences include stomach discomfort, heartburn, diarrhoea, or drowsiness, so it's generally recommended to take it with food. If you haven't used an NSAID capsule before, it's worth knowing that short-term use, typically no more than seven days, is standard practice for this particular medicine unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Dosage
The typical adult dose is one capsule (250mg) three times daily with meals, generally for no longer than seven days, unless your doctor advises a different course.
Side Effects
- Stomach discomfort or upset
- Heartburn or indigestion

- Fluid retention or mild swelling
- Rarely, gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration with prolonged use
How to Store
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from light, and keep in the original packaging until use. Keep out of reach and sight of children.

Contraindications
Should not be used by individuals with active peptic ulcers, a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, severe kidney or liver disease, or known hypersensitivity to mefenamic acid, aspirin, or other NSAIDs. It's also generally avoided in late pregnancy and by individuals with certain heart conditions; always disclose your full medical history before use.
Drug & Food Interactions
Combining this medicine with other NSAIDs, aspirin, or blood-thinning medicines can increase the risk of stomach bleeding or bruising. Alcohol may also raise the risk of stomach irritation, so it's best limited during treatment. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist of all medicines and supplements you're currently taking.
