Two ingredients: The medication you described contains 2 different ingredients.One ingredient is sold as Ponstel (mefenamic acid) which is available in the us by prescription only. The other ingredient would not be appropriate to use for menstrual cramps.

also i have taken the injection of diclofenac and rajniti fine
but still the pain is going on
plz help me by advising me the medicine to get rid of pain?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis needed: The cause of your persistent and apparently severe abdominal pain needs to be determined. There is not enough description of your symptoms in order for us to make a differential diagnosis and advise you. I recommend going back to the hospital emergency room now for more examination and testing.

Question 5

hi dr. i have got my painful periods always to settle i take meftal spas. however, this time even with painkillers my pain is not reducing. i have regular periods and a 28 day cycle. my hemoglobin is over 12 too. what can be the reason of my cramps?

Accepted Answer

: Severe menstrual cramping with menstruation may be caused by endometriosis, which are caused by endometrial cells in the abdominal cavity, which bleed with menstruation, causing pain.  Consult your GYN physician about endometriosis, and ask about low dose oral contraceptives, which will reduce the cramping and protect fertility.

Question 6

is it safe to use oral drops for 2 m infant to relief gases , can you advice for good ones?

Accepted Answer

Wide range: It is safe. There are plenty different ones - mylicon, gripe water etc. There is no one thing that is " the best". Different medicines work for different babies. You will have to try and see.

Question 7

is t minic drops safe for infant of 5 months.

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against using decongestants and cough medications for infants. Saline rinses and suction are however helpful with nasal congestion and cough.

Question 8

is gripe water (gas relief drops) safe to give to a 2 1/2 week old infant?

Accepted Answer

They don't work. : Babies swallow air when crying &amp; bottle-feeding. Till ~ 6 weeks, their intestinal smooth muscle does not coordinate propulsion of  liquid &amp; air. Use the "football hold". Put baby on your forearm, head at your elbow,face down. Press your palm against his tummy, flex his hips, encircle one leg with your fingers &amp; roll him gently against your chest. Tilt head up to burp, tush up to pass gas.

Question 9

is fenistill drops safe for infant of 5 months? dr said he has just minor throat infection . she prescribed 5 drops 3 times a day is it fine?

Accepted Answer

Likely safe..but...: My assessment is they gave you this to give you something to do. Such meds have little if any benefit to infants and certainly don't "fight off" a throat infection. The dose would be safe for a kid that age but I would just comfort the kid and be sure he takes fluids well while the body self heals.

Question 10

is it safe to jump from using branded mefenamic acid to a generic counterpart? cos' generic is cheaper.

Accepted Answer

Reliable lab?: It should be safe. National laws differ and there are greedy folk who'd break the law anyway. But, trust has a beneficial role - so if the lab is a licensed entity - yes you should be safe. I hope you do well.
