MF Gesic 250mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) used to provide relief from mild to moderate pain and inflammation associated with muscular, rheumatic, arthritic disorders, headache, trauma, dental pain, and pain after surgery or childbirth. Additionally, MF Gesic 250mg Tablet is used to relieve period pain, symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and management of excessively heavy periods. MF Gesic 250mg Tablet works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling.
