Medicinal Benefits

Mefson Spas Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Nimesulide and Drotaverine. Mefson Spas Tablet is used to relieve pain and stiffness caused by muscle strains and sprains. Nimesulide is an NSAID that inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation. Drotaverine is a muscle relaxant that acts on the brain and spinal cord centers where it inhibits the multisynaptic reflex involved in muscle spasms, thereby providing relief from skeletal muscle spasms or stiffness. Together, Mefson Spas Tablet helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.
