Pfizer Ponstan Painkillers 250mg | Fast Relief for Period Pain & Cramps

Description

Product Description

Pfizer Ponstan 250mg contains Mefenamic Acid, a trusted NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) widely used for fast relief of menstrual pain, period cramps, muscle aches, dental pain, and inflammation. This medication works by reducing the body’s production of prostaglandins, substances that trigger pain, swelling, and cramping. As a result, Ponstan provides quick and effective relief, especially for dysmenorrhea (period pain).

Suitable for short-term use in adults and adolescents (above 14 years old), Ponstan is one of the most commonly recommended pain relief options for menstrual discomfort.

How to Use

• Adults & Adolescents (14 years and above): Take 1 capsule (250mg) 3 times daily, with food.
• For menstrual pain: Start at the first sign of cramps for best results.
