How Maflab Spas 20/250 MG Tablet 10 Works?

Maflab Spas 20/250 MG Tablet 10 consists of two active ingredients that work together to effectively manage menstrual pain and cramps:

Dicyclomine Hydrochloride (20 mg): This ingredient is a type of anticholinergic medicine. It functions by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates smooth muscle contractions in the gastrointestinal tract. By inhibiting these contractions, dicyclomine helps reduce intestinal spasms and cramping.
Mefenamic Acid (250 mg): Classified as an NSAID, mefenamic acid works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin production, mefenamic acid helps reduce menstrual pain and inflammation.

Pregnancy

Breastfeeding

Use of Maflab Spas 20/250 MG Tablet 10 is not recommended while breastfeeding. Please discuss this with your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Using Machines & Driving

Maflab Spas 20/250 MG Tablet 10 may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience these side effects, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you feel better.
