Hello,
Mefanorm (Mefenamic acid) is a Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug and repeated use is not safe and is always advised after food.
Retherma-AC Suspension(Paracetamol 250 mg/5 ml + Phenylephrine 5 mg/5 ml + Chlorpheniramine 2 mg/5 ml) is better option.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
