I completely understand how frustrating it is to deal with severe period cramps, especially when your medication makes you drowsy and takes too long to work. Yes, you can switch from Meftal Spas (mefenamic acid and dicyclomine) to Buscogast (hyoscine butylbromide). Buscogast is highly effective for cramping, often starts working within 15 minutes, and is much less likely to cause drowsiness. Since Buscogast targets muscle spasms directly but does not contain an anti-inflammatory painkiller like mefenamic acid, the relief may feel slightly different. It is a safe switch to try, but please consult your doctor if your pain persists.

While Meftal Spas (dicyclomine and mefenamic acid) provides temporary relief, it is not a permanent cure and can actually irritate your stomach lining, worsening acidity over time. Your long-term symptoms could be due to conditions like peptic ulcers, acid reflux, or H. pylori infection. To find a lasting cure, I highly recommend consulting a gastroenterologist. They can perform tests like an endoscopy to find the root cause and guide you toward a targeted, safe treatment plan.

Menstrual pain in a 12-year-old can be eased with a warm heating pad on the abdomen, gentle stretching or light exercise, and drinking enough water. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help if needed. Consult a doctor if the pain is severe or affects daily activities.

Severe abdominal and back pain during menstruation can be eased with a warm heating pad, gentle exercise, and adequate rest. Pain-relieving medicines and staying hydrated may also help. You should consult your doctor if the pain is severe, persistent, or affects your daily activities.

Please do not give her Meftal Spas (mefenamic acid/dicyclomine) while she is taking Ibugesic (ibuprofen/paracetamol). Both contain NSAIDs, and combining them can cause severe stomach irritation. Emset (ondansetron) can help control her vomiting, but since she is already taking Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) and Ascoril for her fever and cold, it is safest to consult her pediatrician before adding any new medicines. For now, focus on keeping her hydrated with frequent, small sips of water or ORS, and please have her evaluated by her doctor promptly to safely manage her symptoms.
