It reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 and - 2 (COX-1 and -2) isoenzymes, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins in body tissues.

A NSAID that is an anthranilic acid derivative, exhibiting analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties.
Mefenamic Acid
It reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and -2), thus resulting in reduced rate of prostaglandin synthesis.
