Hi thanks for your query. Pain and malaise during menses is a normal thing unless it gets unbearable. It is fine to take Meftal spas. It contains mefenamic acid & dicyclomine hydrochloride .Dicyclomine can cause anticholinergic side effects such as dry mouth, nausea, even deliriant effects at higher doses. Side effects of mefenamic acid are headaches, nervousness , vomiting etc. Take the medicine only after consulting your gynecologist.
yes it is safe and you can take it but your pains ae related with menses itmeans you may be having pcos or any harmonal imbalances need to investigate for cause and then treat accordingly to get pemanent cure instead of medicines thyroid diseases is also one of causes of this
