Is it a serious cause for concern if my mother fainted and had a brief seizure for the first time after taking Meftal 250 mg, even though she is now feeling better and the doctor suspects it was due to a reaction to the medicine and dehydration?

Asked by Female, 53 · 10 days ago

Fainting due to dehydration, especially when combined with a reaction to a medication like Meftal (mefenamic acid), can sometimes trigger a brief, seizure-like event. Since her doctor is already involved, please follow their advice closely. For now, ensure she stays well-hydrated and avoids taking Meftal again. While she is recovering well, please seek immediate medical attention if she experiences any further fainting, confusion, or unusual weakness.
