Ponstan Fort 500Mg 20Tab

Ponstan Fort is a medication that belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and is primarily used to relieve pain and inflammation. It contains the active ingredient Mefenamic Acid, which works to reduce pain and fever. This medication is used to treat conditions such as headaches, menstrual pain, and joint pain.

Mefenamic Acid works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body known as cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX), which reduces the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause inflammation and pain. Thanks to this mechanism, Ponstan Fort provides effective pain relief and reduces inflammation associated with various conditions. This medication is considered a reliable option for treating mild to moderate pain and is also used to alleviate symptoms associated with arthritis.
