Ponstel (mefenamic acid) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) effective at treating mild to moderate pain from nearly any cause. On the market since the 1960s, it has been available as a generic for decades and it's possible to buy Ponstel under a wide range of other names.

While it's effective at alleviating mild to moderate pain, Ponstel should be used short term only; use rarely exceeds seven consecutive days. In those scenarios where use does continue longer, patients are strongly advised to have regular doctor checkups to monitor for developing adverse effects. As a short-treatment in otherwise healthy patients, Ponstel is unlikely to cause harm.

Ponstel can be used in patients age 14 and up. Parents should not buy Ponstel for younger patients without explicit doctor permission. Elderly patients and those with preexisting medical conditions may require modified dosing and more frequent monitoring.

Like all NSAIDs, Ponstel can cause serious complications during childbirth if taken during the third trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant mothers may be given a prescription to buy Ponstel in the first or second trimester. The medication may be used short-term while breastfeeding.

Dosage & Administration

Ponstel comes in tablets or capsules; as long as dosage strength is the same, these are interchangeable. Because of the relatively slow absorption of pills the medication may not provide good results in conditions like migraines or cluster headaches, where speed of delivery is often critical. In other cases---menstrual pain, strained muscles, tension headaches, and so forth---the medication should minimize or completely alleviate pain.

Treatment rarely exceeds 7 consecutive days; patients should not buy Ponstel to treat chronic, long-term pain without explicit doctor approval. This product can cause serious, even life-threatening side effects if used long term, particularly at higher doses.

In otherwise healthy patients age 14 and up, treatment is usually very similar regardless of the cause of pain:

• Start with 500 mg once as the initial dose.
• After the initial dose, take 250 mg every 6 hours as needed.
• Treatment should not exceed 1 week without doctor approval.
• Doses should be taken with food or milk to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.

A missed dose can be taken as soon as remembered, as long as the next dose is pushed back 6 hours. Never take a double dose to compensate for a missed dose.

Potential Side Effects

The biggest complications from Ponstel use are due to patients with preexisting conditions, particularly those involving the cardiovascular system or gastrointestinal system. Patients with the following in particular should use Ponstel with caution:

• Stomach ulcers
• Stomach or intestinal bleeding
• Heart failure
• Recent heart attack
• Blood clots
• Blood vessel problems
• High blood pressure
• Kidney or liver impairment

Patients with the above should be sure to make it clear to the prescribing doctor that these conditions are or were present. Dosage may need to be modified, monitoring increased, or the doctor may advise patients to not buy Ponstel at all---there are many alternatives available that may be more suitable.

Ponstel can also interact with other medications, most notably:

• Other NSAIDs, such as aspirin or ibuprofen
• Blood thinners, such as warfarin
• Steroids, such as prednisone
• Immunosuppressive medications, such as cyclosporine
• Diuretics, such as furosemide
• Antacids
• Lithium

Always check with a doctor or pharmacist before taking other medications with Ponstel---including seemingly innocuous over-the-counter varieties. Note that many over-the-counter cough and cold syrups may contain NSAIDs, which can quickly lead to overdose.
