Hi thanks for your query.
Pain and malaise during menses is a normal thing unless it gets unbearable. It is fine to take Meftal spas. It contains mefenamic acid & dicyclomine hydrochloride .Dicyclomine can cause anticholinergic side effects such as dry mouth, nausea, even deliriant effects at higher doses. Side effects of mefenamic acid are headaches, nervousness , vomiting etc. Take the medicine only after consulting your gynecologist.
