Dicyclomine HCL (Hydrochloride) and Mefenamic Acid Tablet IP is a medication used for the treatment of various conditions, including menstrual pain, abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea (period pain), and colicky pain. This tablet contains two active ingredients: dicyclomine HCL and mefenamic acid.

Dicyclomine HCL is a tertiary amine anticholinergic drug that helps relieve colicky pain associated with intestinal and biliary disorders 12. It works by blocking certain receptors in the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, reducing spasms and cramps in the abdomen. Some common indications for dicyclomine HCL include irritable bowel syndrome and dysmenorrhea.

Mefenamic Acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to alleviate pain and inflammation. It inhibits the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation in the body. Mefenamic acid is particularly effective in relieving menstrual pain and cramps.

The combination of dicyclomine HCL and mefenamic acid in this tablet provides a complementary approach to managing various types of pain, including abdominal pain and menstrual pain.
