How it works
Medatil Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Drotaverine and Mefenamic Acid. Drotaverine is an anti-spasmodic medicine which relieves contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles in the abdomen. Mefenamic Acid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause abdominal pain and inflammation (swelling).

Your doctor may regularly monitor your kidney and liver function if you are taking this medicine for long-term treatment.
