What Are The Side Effects Of Meftal Spas?
Hi, I have a history of very bad cramps for the first day of my mentrual cycle, specially for first few hours. They are too painful. I started taking 1 Meftal Spas as soon as my period starts. Its been about 3 years now that I take 1 Meftal spas every month as soon as my period starts. And no more after that. Is it ok to keep using it ? Does it have any side effects except nausea ? Thanks
