Overview
Mefenamic acid is a member of the anthranilic acid derivatives (or fenamate) class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), used to treat mild to moderate pain. Its systematic name is 2-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)aminobenzoic acid. It was discovered by Parke-Davis and marketed as Ponstel in the 1960s.
Uses
Mefenamic acid is used to treat pain and inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, postoperative pain, muscle and back pain, toothache, menstrual pain, and menorrhagia. It is also used for perimenstrual migraine headache prophylaxis.
Regulatory
Mefenamic acid is available under various brand names worldwide and is subject to prescription regulations. It is classified as a prescription-only medication (POM) in the UK and Rx-only in the US.
Monitoring
Regular monitoring is required to ensure compliance with regulatory limits and to assess the efficacy and safety of mefenamic acid in clinical use.
Health Impact
Human Toxicity
Mefenamic acid can cause side effects such as headaches, nervousness, vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal perforation, peptic ulcers, hematemesis, skin reactions, and blood cell disorders. It has been associated with acute liver damage and kidney problems in unborn babies.
Environmental Impact
Effects on Wildlife
There is limited information on the environmental impact of mefenamic acid, but like other pharmaceuticals, it can potentially affect wildlife if not properly managed.
Safety Measures
Mefenamic acid should be taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. It is contraindicated in individuals with hypersensitivity to NSAIDs, peptic ulcers, kidney or liver disease, heart failure, and during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Regulation
Regulatory bodies such as the FDA and the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission have issued warnings and updated drug labels to address the risks associated with mefenamic acid use, including the potential for DRESS Syndrome and kidney problems in unborn babies.
