Cyclomeff Tablet

Cyclomeff 20 mg/250 mg Tablet is used in the treatment of menstrual pain and colicky pain. It relieves colicky pain associated with intestinal, biliary, and ureteric colic.

In Pain

Cyclomeff blocks the chemicals that cause pain at the site of an injury or inflammation, giving relief that is often stronger than paracetamol for pain with swelling.

In Inflammation

Cyclomeff reduces the swelling, redness, heat and stiffness of an inflamed joint or injured tissue, so movement is easier.

In Arthritis

Cyclomeff eases the pain and morning stiffness of arthritis, so joints move more freely and daily tasks become easier.

In Fever

Cyclomeff lowers a raised temperature and relieves the aching that goes with it.

In Period pain

Cyclomeff reduces the chemicals that make the womb cramp during a period, which is why it works well for period pain when taken as the pain begins.

In Abdominal cramps

Cyclomeff relaxes the muscle of the gut wall so the cramping spasms ease and the pain settles.

In Irritable bowel syndrome

Cyclomeff calms the over-active gut of IBS, reducing the cramping pain and urgency so that daily life is less disrupted.

In Colic

Cyclomeff relieves the gripping, wave-like pain of colic by relaxing the spasm in the gut or urinary tract.

Alcohol

Taking Mefenamic acid with alcohol increases the risk of stomach bleeding.
