Drofem Tablet

Drofem Tablet is a combination medication containing Drotaverine (80mg) and Mefenamic Acid (250mg). It is used to relieve pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), abdominal pain, and other muscle spasms. Drofem Tablet effectively combines the antispasmodic properties of Drotaverine with the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Mefenamic Acid to provide fast relief from pain and cramping.

Uses of Drofem Tablet

Drofem Tablet is commonly used to treat the following conditions:

• Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea)
• Abdominal pain
• Spasms and cramping in the gastrointestinal tract
• Relief of pain caused by smooth muscle spasms

How Drofem Tablet Works

Drofem Tablet works through the combination of two active ingredients. Drotaverine, an antispasmodic, helps to relax the smooth muscles and relieve cramps. Mefenamic Acid, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. Together, these components reduce pain and discomfort caused by muscle spasms and inflammation.

• Helps manage pain and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
