This higher strength is used to relieve moderate pain, particularly menstrual pain, along with musculoskeletal pain and other inflammatory pain conditions that require a stronger initial dose than the 250mg strength provides.
Both contain the same active ingredient, Mefenamic Acid, with the 500mg capsule providing double the dose per capsule, suited to moderate pain requiring a stronger initial response.
The typical adult dose is 500mg three times daily with food, though the exact dosing schedule and duration should follow the treating physician's instructions based on the type and severity of pain.
Like other NSAIDs, Mefenamic Acid is generally recommended for short-term use, and prolonged use should be discussed with a physician due to potential gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risks associated with extended NSAID therapy.
Capsules should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture, at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees Celsius.
