About Contran-M 500mg/250mg Tablet

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

MEFENAMIC ACID+TRANEXAMIC ACID 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 a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins (PG). By blocking COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation.
