About Meftal TX Tablet

Meftal TX Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat dysmenorrhea (period pain) and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding). Besides this, Meftal TX Tablet is also used to treat severe blood loss, swelling in various body parts, fever, inflammation, and migraine headache. Menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, are characterized by cramps and pain during menstruation. Menorrhagia is a condition with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding during menstruation/periods.

Meftal TX Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Tranexamic acid (anti-fibrinolytic) and Mefenamic acid (NSAID). Tranexamic acid helps the body's natural blood clot process by preventing fibrin's breakdown, this stops fibrinolysis, a process that stops blood clot formation. Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain.

You are advised to take Meftal TX Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, indigestion, heartburn, and headache. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Meftal TX Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Meftal TX Tablet should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Meftal TX Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness, it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects/interactions.

Uses of Meftal TX Tablet

Dysmenorrhea (period pain) and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding).

Directions for Use

Take Meftal TX Tablet with food to prevent stomach upset. Swallow Meftal TX Tablet as a whole with a glass of water, do not chew, or break it.

Medicinal Benefits

Meftal TX Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Tranexamic acid and Mefenamic acid. Meftal TX Tablet is used to treat abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (period pain), and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding). Additionally, Meftal TX Tablet is also used to treat severe blood loss, swelling in various body parts, fever, inflammation, and migraine headache. Tranexamic acid is an anti-fibrinolytic agent that helps the body's natural blood clot process by preventing fibrin's breakdown, this stops fibrinolysis, a process that stops blood clot formation. Mefenamic acid is an NSAID that works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Meftal TX Tablet helps treat heavy bleeding and pains/cramps during periods.
