{{Cleanup/Citations needed | date = 2022}} '''Mefenamic acid''' is a member of the anthranilic acid derivatives (or fenamate) class of [[Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug|NSAID]] drugs, and is used to treat mild to moderate [[pain]], including menstrual pain, and is sometimes used to prevent [[migraine]]s associated with menstruation. It is not widely used in the United States due to its side effects and high cost compared to other NSAID drugs. Its name derives from its systematic name, dimethylphenylaminobenzoic acid. It was discovered and brought to market by Parke-Davis in the 1960s. It became generic in the 1980s and is available worldwide under many brand names. ==Uses== ==Side Effects== More commonly reported ones are: More commonly reported ones in children are: Less commonly reported ones are: ==See also == == Learn more == == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Potential treatments]] [[Category:Analgesics]] [[Category:Anti-inflammatories]] [[Category:Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs]]
