Mefenamic acid is a NSAID drug used to treat pain, fever, cramps, etc.
Paracetamol is an analgesic used to treat fever, headache, muscle pain, toothache, etc.
There are no documented interactions between Mefenamic acid & Paracetamol.
Thus, this combination is beneficial in the treatment of fever, muscle pains, cramps, joint pains, etc.

Hope this answers your query.
