Product Description
The most prevalent "Metfast" or "Mefast" syrup in a 200ml (or smaller) bottle contains a combination of two active ingredients:
- Mefenamic Acid: This is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID). It works by blocking certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) in the body that cause pain, inflammation (redness and swelling), and fever.
- Paracetamol (Acetaminophen): This is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It primarily works in the brain and spinal cord to block pain signals and affects the part of the brain that regulates body temperature.
