Meclofenamate Sodium

See also Warning section. Meclofenamate is used to relieve pain from various conditions (such as headache, dental pain, muscle aches, and gout attacks) and to decrease pain and blood loss from menstrual periods. It is also used to reduce fever and to relieve minor aches and pain due to the common cold or flu. Meclofenamate is also used to reduce pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. Meclofenamate is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. View More Info
