CLOELITE-MF
Mefenamic Acid & Paracetamol Suspension
PACKING SIZE / TYPE
60 ML WITH MEASURING CUP & PP CAP, PLAIN SILVER, GMP PRINTED,
Summary
CLOELITE-MF is a suspension formulation combining Mefenamic Acid and Paracetamol. Mefenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce inflammation, pain, and fever, while Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) acts as an analgesic and antipyretic. This combination is commonly used to manage mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It is effective for conditions such as menstrual cramps, muscle pain, dental pain, and headaches, providing both pain relief and fever reduction.
