The typical adult dose is one to two tablets (250-500mg) three times daily with food. Do not exceed 1500mg per day. Treatment should not continue for more than 7 days unless directed by your doctor. Always take Meftal with or after meals to reduce stomach upset. Children's dosage should be determined by a doctor based on age and weight.

Meftal 250mg usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes after taking it. You should feel pain relief within this time frame. The maximum effect typically occurs within 2 to 3 hours. For menstrual pain, it works best when taken at the first sign of discomfort. If you don't experience relief after a few doses, consult your doctor.
Is Meftal 250mg safe to use?
Meftal 250mg is generally safe when used as directed. However, it may cause side effects like stomach upset, nausea, or dizziness.

Always consult your doctor before use, especially if you have existing health conditions.
