What is meclofenamate?

Meclofenamate is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Meclofenamate works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.

Meclofenamate is used to treat fever or mild to moderate pain in adults. Meclofenamate is also used to relieve symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in adults, and juvenile arthritis in children who are at least 14 years old.

Meclofenamate is also used to treat menstrual pain or heavy menstrual bleeding.

Meclofenamate is sometimes used long-term to treat symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis, gouty arthritis, or shoulder pain caused by bursitis or tendinitis.

Meclofenamate may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Meclofenamate may also cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal. These conditions can occur without warning while you are using meclofenamate, especially in older adults.

How should I take meclofenamate?

Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take meclofenamate in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Use the lowest dose that is effective in treating your condition.

Do not take more than 400 milligrams (mg) of meclofenamate in one day.

If you use this medicine long-term, you may need frequent medical tests at your doctor’s office.

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

Overdose symptoms may include decreased urination, confusion, behavior changes, agitation, or seizure (convulsions).

What should I avoid while taking meclofenamate?

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any cold, allergy, or pain medication. Many medicines available over the counter contain aspirin or other medicines similar to meclofenamate.

Avoid taking aspirin while you are taking meclofenamate.

Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
