Mefenamic Tablet
Fenamate NSAID Uterine Antispasmodic & Analgesic
Healthy Life Pharma Private Limited, alongside our specialized global export and marketing division Healthy Inc, is a premier Indian manufacturer, CDMO partner, and wholesale exporter of advanced non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), gynecology support therapeutics, and acute pain management formulations. We manufacture ultra-high-purity, kinetically stable Mefenamic Acid Tablets inside our state-of-the-art, WHO–GMP certified solid dosage manufacturing installations.
Serving as a foundational therapeutic for primary dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and acute muscular distress, this formulation is a massive-volume strategic export to maternity clinic networks, retail pharmacy distribution chains, state healthcare procurement pipelines, and international digital B2B marketplaces across Africa, the CIS region, LATAM, and South-East Asia.
Product Overview
This formulation operates as a “Dual-Action Prostaglandin Pathway Deactivator.” It ensures rapid pain relief and reduces uterine muscle hyper-contractility by cutting off the production of inflammatory markers while simultaneously preventing remaining markers from binding to target smooth muscles.
Mechanism 1 (Cyclooxygenase Enzyme Inhibition): Mefenamic Acid belongs to the fenamate chemical class. It physically enters inflamed tissues and chemically inhibits Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, stopping the conversion of arachidonic acid into inflammatory prostaglandins ($PGE_{2}$ and $PGF_{2\alpha}$).
Mechanism 2 (Prostaglandin Receptor Antagonism): Unlike traditional NSAIDs, Mefenamic Acid possesses a distinct secondary mechanism: it physically binds to and competitively antagonizes peripheral prostaglandin receptors located directly on uterine smooth muscle walls.
Mechanism 3 (Uterine Myometrial Stabilization): This receptor blockade completely neutralizes the muscle-contracting effects of excess prostaglandins. The physical result is an immediate reduction in intrauterine pressure, a decrease in chaotic uterine muscle spasms (antispasmodic effect), and a reduction in local vascular leakage to normalize excessive menstrual blood loss.
Product Composition & Available Strengths
We supply Mefenamic Acid in standard, exact compendial strengths designed to support either acute, low-dose short-term relief or high-potency systemic anti-inflammatory regimens.

Technical & Logistics Specifications
HS Code: 3004.90.64 (Medicaments containing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, antipyretics) or 3004.90.99 (General Category)
CAS Number: 61-68-7 (Mefenamic Acid)
Dosage Form: Oral Solid Film-Coated Tablet (Core matrix precisely film-coated to mask the naturally chalky active powder texture and preserve core stability)
Packaging Configurations: 10 Tablets per Blister packed in premium, high-barrier Alu-Alu (Cold-Form Foil) or heavy moisture-shield PVC/PVDC strips. Our tropicalized packaging matrices completely block environmental moisture and oxygen transit, guaranteeing a full 36-month shelf life in hot, humid Zone IVb export environments.
Advanced Manufacturing Integrity & Quality Controls
High-Density Compact Granulation Processing: Mefenamic Acid raw active material possesses naturally low bulk density and poor flow characteristics. We deploy Advanced Roller Compactors and High-Shear Granulators, physically densifying the powder matrix into uniform granules to eliminate weight variations and tablet capping during high-speed compression cycles.
Taste-Masking Barrier Film Coating: The active raw chemical possesses a bitter, chalky flavor profile that can trigger patient aversion. Our processing lines apply an Advanced Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) Film Coat, physically isolating the core taste profile without altering gastrointestinal disintegration speeds.
Validated Rapid Disintegration Kinetics: Every export production batch physically undergoes Automated In-Vitro Dissolution Profiling, chemically verifying that our generic formulations achieve rapid disintegration (under 10 minutes) in gastric fluids to ensure quick systemic absorption and fast pain relief.
Primary Indications
Gynecology: Treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea (painful menstrual cramps) and medical management of Functional Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) secondary to dysfunctional uterine bleeding profiles.
Internal Medicine & Rheumatology: Short-term relief of mild-to-moderate Acute Pain, including dental pain, post-operative surgical pain, headaches, and acute inflammatory flares of Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Usage Instructions
The Post-Meal Timing Mandate: Take the tablet orally with a full glass of water. It must be taken physically with or immediately after a meal to protect the gastric mucosa and reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
The 7-Day Limitation Rule: Modern clinical guidelines recommend limiting continuous short-term acute usage of Mefenamic Acid to a maximum duration of 7 consecutive days wherever possible (and a maximum of 3 days for standard menstrual cramp cycles), physically minimizing the risk of gastrointestinal or renal side effects.
Hydration Reinforcement Requirement: Patients must maintain adequate physical fluid intake during active management to ensure optimal renal clearance of the metabolized drug.
Safety Warning: POTENT NSAID & UTERINE ANTISPASMODIC. For Professional Medical Supervision Only. Gastrointestinal Risk Warning: All NSAID compounds carry a chemical risk of inducing local mucosal irritation; monitor for symptoms of gastric ulceration, dyspepsia, or occult bleeding, especially in elderly patient profiles. Renal & Hepatic Note: Periodic tracking of renal function markers and liver enzymes is recommended during prolonged or high-dose therapy runs. Contraindications: Absolute contraindications in patients presenting with active gastrointestinal ulceration or chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), severe renal insufficiency, severe hepatic failure, active coronary artery bypass graft ($CABG$) surgery windows, third-trimester pregnancy, or known hypersensitivity to fenamate or aspirin derivatives.
