About Dronet-MF Tablet

Dronet-MF Tablet is used to treat abdominal pain, muscle pain, migraine headache, functional bowel disorders, dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), heavy bleeding during periods, renal colic pain, and pain after surgery. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable.

Dronet-MF Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Drotaverine (anti-spasmodic) and Mefenamic acid (NSAID). Drotaverine works by reducing calcium reuptake by the cells, thereby correcting the body's calcium levels and relieving contractions associated with smooth muscles. Mefenamic acid works by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Dronet-MF Tablet helps in relieving pain.

You are advised to take Dronet-MF Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, feeling thirsty, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dry mouth, rashes and itching. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor if you have/had asthma, peptic ulcers, porphyria, or bleeding problems. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Dronet-MF Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Dronet-MF Tablet should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness; it might also increase stomach bleeding risk. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Medicinal Benefits

Dronet-MF Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Drotaverine and Mefenamic acid. Dronet-MF Tablet is used to treat abdominal pain, muscle pain, migraine headache, functional bowel disorders, dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), heavy bleeding during periods, renal colic pain, and pain after surgery. Drotaverine is an antispasmodic that reduces calcium reuptake by the cells, thereby correcting the calcium levels in the body and relieving contractions associated with smooth muscles. Mefenamic acid is an NSAID which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzymes' effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Dronet-MF Tablet helps in relieving pain.
