Hi,

Meftal Spas tablet is composed of Dicyclomine and Mefenamic acid. It is an antispasmodic medication. It relieves pain by relaxing the muscles.

Nausea, Vomiting, Indigestion, Dizziness, Dry mouth, Sexual dysfunction, Stomach ulcers and Blurred vision are some of the side effects associated with its use.

What dosage you are taking is higher and kindly reduce the dose as long term use can cause certain problems like stomach ulcers. You can take the medication only when the pain is severe and cannot be tolerated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
