Meftal Spas (mefenamic acid and dicyclomine) is generally safe for short-term relief of period cramps when used as directed. However, because your pain is severe enough to keep you in bed, it is highly recommended to consult a gynecologist. They can help identify the root cause, such as endometriosis, and guide you on safer, more effective long-term treatment options. Please ensure you do not take this medication on an empty stomach to avoid gastric irritation.
