 Use of meclofenamic acid


Meclofenamic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) approved for use in arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid), analgesia (mild to moderate pain), dysmenorrhea, and heavy menstrual blood loss (menorrhagia). Meclofenamic acid is a non-selective gap-junction blocker and a highly selective inhibitor of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) enzyme inhibitor[1][2][3].
