Ponstan Forte is a prescription medication containing 500mg of Mefenamic Acid per tablet. It comes in a pack of 20 film-coated tablets and is used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug to treat pain, inflammation and menstrual cramps. Ponstan Forte contains Mefenamic Acid as its active ingredient and belongs to the class of medications known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate pain including headaches, dental pain, period pain, and musculoskeletal pain. The medication works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. The recommended dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient's condition. Like other NSAIDs, it should be taken with food to minimize stomach upset.
