Can my wife take a second dose of Meftal Spas in the evening if she already took one in the morning for period pain, and is this medication likely to cause side effects like diarrhea or stomach upset?
Yes, your wife can safely take a second dose of Meftal Spas (mefenamic acid and dicyclomine) this evening, provided it has been at least 6 to 8 hours since her morning dose. It is quite common to need spaced doses for period pain. This medication can sometimes cause mild stomach upset or diarrhea. To help prevent this and protect her stomach, please ensure she always takes it with food or a glass of milk. If her pain remains severe or if she experiences persistent diarrhea, it is best to consult her doctor.
