Directions for Use of Tenacid Mf Tablet 10

Here are the steps you should follow while taking Tenacid-MF Tablet:

Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor precisely.
Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.
Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

Tenacid-MF Tablet may have the following side effects:

Diarrhoea
Dizziness
Muscle cramp
Back pain
Sinus issues
Anaemia: This is a condition where your body lacks enough red blood cells or haemoglobin to carry sufficient oxygen to your tissues.
Fatigue

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Tenacid-MF Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Drink plenty of healthy fluids to stay hydrated and follow the diet recommended by your doctor.
Dizziness: Consider taking this medicine at night if it causes you to feel dizzy during the day.

Tenacid-MF Tablet consists of two active components:

Mefenamic Acid (250 mg): This component belongs to the NSAID class. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). By doing so, it reduces the production of prostaglandins which are responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and fever. Thus, mefenamic acid exhibits analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties.
Tranexamic Acid (500 mg): As an antifibrinolytic agent, tranexamic acid aids in stabilising blood clots. It does so by preventing the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, an enzyme that breaks down fibrin clots. This action ensures that blood clots are not prematurely dissolved thereby reducing bleeding.

These combined actions contribute to the effective management of pain and heavy menstrual bleeding.

Pregnancy

If you're expecting, use Tenacid-MF Tablet with caution. It's wise to consult your doctor before using this medicine during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, it's best to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medication.

Alcohol

Alcohol consumption while taking Tenacid-MF Tablet may lead to increased side effects. Consult with your doctor about safe alcohol use during your treatment period.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Tenacid-MF Tablet if you have mild to moderate liver impairment. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine. This medication might affect liver function.

Kidney

Allergy

Tenacid-MF Tablet should not be used by patients who have known hypersensitivity to mefenamic acid, tranexamic acid or any other ingredients in the tablet.

Children

This medicine should be used carefully in children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Tenacid-MF Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Blood thinners: When combined with blood thinners like warfarin, the risk of bleeding may increase due to the antifibrinolytic action of tranexamic acid present in Tenacid-MF Tablet.
Antidepressants: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine can enhance the risk of bleeding when taken with this medicine because of its antifibrinolytic component.
Hormonal contraceptives: Birth control pills may interact with Tenacid-MF Tablet, possibly increasing the risk of clot formation due to the antifibrinolytic effect of tranexamic acid.

Drug-Food Interactions

Consumption of grapefruit juice may increase the level of mefenamic acid in your body, which can increase the risk of side effects.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Tenacid-MF Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Blood clots: If you have a history of blood clots or a high risk of developing them, using Tenacid-MF Tablet is not recommended due to its antifibrinolytic component.

Heart disease: If you suffer from heart disease, using this medicine may increase your risk of heart attack and stroke.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Tenacid-MF Tablets than prescribed, you might experience symptoms like stomach pain, drowsiness, or a headache. You should inform your doctor if these symptoms persist or worsen.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Tenacid-MF Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and go back to your regular schedule. Never increase your doses without discussing it with your doctor.
