Camylofin, Mefenamic Acid

Camylofin is a combination medication that contains Mefenamic Acid, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Camphor, a topical analgesic. It is designed to provide relief from various types of pain, including muscle and joint discomfort, as well as inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, sprains, and strains.
Mefenamic Acid works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins, substances that play a crucial role in inflammation and pain sensation. By blocking prostaglandin synthesis, Mefenamic Acid reduces inflammation, swelling, and pain, providing effective relief to patients suffering from these symptoms.
Camphor, on the other hand, is a topical analgesic that acts by stimulating nerve endings in the skin to produce a cooling sensation, which can help mask pain and provide temporary relief. Its counterirritant effects can also promote local blood circulation, which may aid in reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
Camylofin is usually applied topically to the affected area, as directed by a healthcare professional, to provide relief from various types of pain and inflammation. Patients should follow the instructions provided with the medication and consult with a healthcare provider if they have any concerns or questions about its use.
