Introduction

Regocid contains Mefenamic Acid 250mg, a widely used painkiller and anti-inflammatory medicine. It is effective in reducing mild to moderate pain and is often prescribed for headaches, menstrual pain, arthritis, and muscle aches. Unlike narcotic painkillers, it does not cause dependence but must still be used carefully as it can affect the stomach, kidneys, and liver if misused.

Primary Uses

Doctors commonly recommend Regocid for:

• Headaches and migraines

• Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)

• Muscle and joint pain (e.g. arthritis, sprains)

• Toothache and post-surgical pain

• General inflammatory conditions

How to Take

• Taken orally after meals to reduce stomach irritation.

• Should not be taken with antacids.

• Works best when used at the first sign of pain.

• Dosage depends on age, health condition, and severity of symptoms. Always follow your doctor’s advice.

Possible Side Effects

Most people tolerate Regocid well, but some may experience:

• Stomach upset or discomfort

• Skin rash (stop use immediately if this occurs)

• Increased liver enzymes (seen in blood tests)

• Kidney impairment in long-term/high doses

• Dizziness (avoid driving right after taking it)

 If you develop persistent abdominal pain, black stools, breathing issues, or swelling of the face/lips, seek medical help immediately.

Warnings & Precautions

• Pregnancy: Should only be used if clearly necessary and no safer alternative exists.

• Breastfeeding: Safety in lactating mothers is uncertain; consult a doctor.

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol, as it increases the risk of stomach bleeding.
