Benefits

• Rapid and sustained relief from menstrual cramps and associated discomfort

How It Works

Mefenamic acid in Hostan 250 Capsule acts as a potent prostaglandin inhibitor, targeting and blocking these pain-inducing substances at their source. This sophisticated mechanism not only alleviates pain but also reduces inflammation and fever, providing a three-pronged approach to symptom relief.

Dosage

For optimal menstrual pain relief, administer 50-100 mg orally every 4 to 6 hours, not exceeding 400 mg daily. For other pain conditions, take 200-500 mg orally every 6 hours, with a maximum daily dose of 1 gram. Always consume with food to enhance gastrointestinal tolerance and absorption. Tailor dosage to the minimum effective amount for the shortest duration necessary to achieve symptom control.

Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, or dizziness. In rare cases, more serious effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic dysfunction, or allergic reactions may occur. Immediate medical attention is crucial if severe side effects are experienced.

Warning

Exercise caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding disorders, renal impairment, or known sensitivity to NSAIDs. Long-term use or high doses may elevate cardiovascular risks, particularly in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions. Regular medical supervision is advised for extended use.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Mefenamic acid is contraindicated during the third trimester of pregnancy due to potential fetal risks. Use during early pregnancy and breastfeeding should be under strict medical supervision, weighing potential benefits against risks.

Interaction

• May potentiate the effects of anticoagulants, increasing bleeding risk
• Potential for reduced efficacy of antihypertensive medications
• Can enhance the nephrotoxicity of certain antibiotics
• May increase lithium levels when used concurrently
• Possible interaction with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), elevating bleeding risk

Important Information

Regular liver and kidney function monitoring is recommended for long-term users. Patients with cardiovascular risk factors should undergo periodic assessment. Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention if signs of allergic reactions, gastrointestinal bleeding, or severe skin reactions occur. Always consult a healthcare professional before initiating or modifying treatment with Hostan 250 Capsule to ensure its appropriateness for your specific health profile and needs.
