Composition: Tranexamic acid + Mefenamic acid tablet
Terfenic‑MF is a fixed‑dose combination tablet containing tranexamic acid and mefenamic acid, used primarily in the management of excessive menstrual bleeding and associated dysmenorrhoea (painful menstrual cramps). Tranexamic acid acts as an antifibrinolytic agent by inhibiting the breakdown of blood clots, thereby reducing menstrual blood loss. Mefenamic acid is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces prostaglandin‑mediated pain and inflammation, providing relief from menstrual pain and abdominal cramps.
