Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Agretax MF 500 mg/250 mg Tablet relieves the pain due to muscle cramps during menstrual cycles (periods). It blocks the pain signals, relaxes the muscles and prevents sudden contractions (spasms) of muscles. This treats your pain and discomfort.

Pharmacokinets

Tranexamic acid 1 g was given intravenously to three healthy volunteers. Plasma concentrations decayed in three monoexponential phases. Most elimination took place during the first eight hours, giving an apparent elimination half-life of approximately two hours. Plasma clearance ranged between 110-116 ml/min.

Mefenamic acid is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2C9 to 3-hydroxymethyl mefenamic acid (Metabolite I). Further oxidation to a 3-carboxymefenamic acid (Metabolite II) may occur. The activity of these metabolites has not been studied.
