It is generally safe when taken at recommended doses and is commonly used to manage headaches, muscle pain, back pain, and toothaches.

Mefenamic Acid:
Mefenamic acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It helps relieve inflammation and pain by inhibiting the  Pmp tablets    production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause pain, swelling, and fever. Mefenamic acid is particularly effective for menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), joint pain, and muscular aches.

Pantoprazole:
Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is included in the PMP tablet to protect the stomach lining from irritation and ulcers that might occur due to prolonged use of NSAIDs like mefenamic acid. It helps prevent gastritis, acid reflux, and peptic ulcers.

Uses of PMP Tablets
PMP tablets are prescribed when a patient needs effective pain management without the risk of stomach damage. Some common conditions treated with PMP tablets include:

Menstrual cramps

Musculoskeletal pain (such as backache, joint pain)

Post-surgical pain

Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis

Toothaches

Fever with body aches

Since this tablet includes pantoprazole, it is particularly suitable for patients who have a history of gastric problems or are at risk of gastrointestinal issues from NSAIDs.

How PMP Tablets Work
The three ingredients work together in a complementary manner:

Paracetamol and mefenamic acid provide dual-action pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects.

Pantoprazole reduces stomach acid, ensuring that the painkillers do not cause harm to the gastrointestinal lining.

This combination allows doctors to treat moderate to severe pain without compromising the patient’s digestive health.

Dosage and Administration
PMP tablets should be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Typically, the dosage is one tablet taken one to two times daily, preferably after food to further minimize stomach irritation. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose to avoid potential liver damage (from paracetamol) or gastrointestinal bleeding (from mefenamic acid).

Precautions and Warnings
Avoid alcohol while taking PMP tablets, as it can increase the risk of liver damage and stomach bleeding.
