About Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's

Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's is a combination medicine used to treat menstrual pain. It effectively treats menstrual cramps and discomfort caused during menstrual periods. A menstrual cramp is a pain that occurs in the lower abdomen, which happens just before or at the beginning of a menstrual period.

Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's consists of two medicines: Hyoscine butyl bromide and Mefenamic acid. Hyoscine butyl bromide is an anticholinergic drug that stops muscle contractions by relaxing the muscles in the stomach, intestine, and bladder. Mefenamic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. Further, it prevents the formation of chemical messengers, 'prostaglandins' (PGs) that cause pain and swelling. 

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain. Common side effects of Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's include nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and heartburn. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's or its components. Inform your doctor beforehand if you have liver, kidney or heart diseases, glaucoma, enlarged bowel (megacolon), myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), gastrointestinal problems, high blood pressure, and asthma before starting Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or a breastfeeding mother. Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. You are advised to avoid alcohol intake while using Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's.

Menstrual pain.

Medicinal Benefits

Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's contains Hyoscine butyl bromide and Mefenamic acid. Hyoscine butyl bromide is an anticholinergic drug that stops muscle contractions by relaxing the muscles in the stomach, intestine, and bladder. Mefenamic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that further prevents the formation of chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' (PGs). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzymes' effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Thus Hyocimax MF Tablet 10's treats menstrual pain, discomfort, and abdominal cramps.
