Description

Mefenamic Acid CAS NO 61-68-7 is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the fenamate class, functioning as a potent inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. This compound is a critical active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) valued for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical manufacturers for the formulation of prescription and over-the-counter medications targeting pain and inflammation management.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use as the active ingredient in analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications.
• Menstrual Pain Relief: Formulation of products specifically for the treatment of dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps).
• Musculoskeletal Pain Management: Used in drugs for treating pain associated with arthritis, sprains, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in pharmacological and biochemical research.
• Veterinary Medicine: Application in veterinary pharmaceuticals for pain and inflammation control in animals.
