Anex-M 85/500mg Tablets

Used For:

Anex-M tablets are typically used for:

1. Pain Relief: The combination of mefenamic acid and paracetamol provides relief from various types of pain, including headache, toothache, menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), muscle aches, and joint pain.
2. Fever Reduction: Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) is an antipyretic medication, which means it helps reduce fever. When combined with mefenamic acid, it can effectively lower body temperature in cases of fever.

Side Effects:

Common side effects associated with Anex-M tablets may include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Stomach pain
• Heartburn
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Rash or itching
• Allergic reactions

Less common but more severe side effects may include:

• Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration: Long-term use or high doses of mefenamic acid can increase the risk of gastrointestinal complications such as bleeding or ulcer formation.
• Liver toxicity: Paracetamol, when taken in excessive doses, can cause liver damage or liver failure. It's crucial to adhere to the recommended dosage and avoid combining Anex-M with other medications containing paracetamol.
• Kidney damage: Prolonged use of mefenamic acid may lead to kidney problems, particularly in individuals with preexisting kidney conditions.

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking Anex-M tablets, seek medical attention promptly.

Precautions:

• Dosage and Duration: Follow the prescribed dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as directed on the medication label. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose or using Anex-M for longer than advised.
• Medical Conditions: Inform your healthcare provider about any preexisting medical conditions, especially liver disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, or asthma, as they may affect your suitability for taking Anex-M tablets.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before taking Anex-M if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. While paracetamol is generally considered safe during pregnancy when used at recommended doses, mefenamic acid may not be suitable for use during certain stages of pregnancy.
• Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking Anex-M tablets, as it may increase the risk of liver damage.

Always discuss any concerns or questions about medication use with your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective treatment.
