Can I take Meftal Spas for period pain today if I have a stomach scope (endoscopy) scheduled for tomorrow morning?

Asked by Female, 20 · 21 days ago

It is best to avoid taking Meftal Spas (which contains mefenamic acid) today before your endoscopy tomorrow. This medication can irritate your stomach lining and slightly increase the risk of bleeding if your doctor needs to take a small tissue sample (biopsy) during the procedure. For safer pain relief today, you may take paracetamol instead, as it does not affect bleeding or interfere with your scan. Please also remember to follow your fasting instructions tonight.
