Mafnac Spas 500/325 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients which contribute to its pain-relieving and fever-reducing properties:

• Mefenamic acid (500 mg): This ingredient is part of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) family. It blocks certain enzymes called cyclooxygenase (COX) in your body. These enzymes are responsible for producing chemicals named prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking COX enzymes, mefenamic acid reduces these symptoms.

• Paracetamol/Acetaminophen (325 mg): Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Its exact mode of action is not fully clear, but it's believed to work by preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and by reducing the sensitivity of pain receptors. This helps alleviate pain and reduce fever.

The combined action of these two ingredients contributes to the medicine's effectiveness in managing pain and reducing fever.

• If you're taking Mafnac Spas 500/325 MG Tablet 10 for arthritis pain, consider incorporating foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids like flaxseeds and fish into your diet. Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can aid in managing inflammation associated with arthritis.

• If the medicine is taken to alleviate menstrual cramps, try to engage in light exercises, such as walking or stretching, during your periods. It may help to ease muscle tension and reduce discomfort.
