More information

Feminax Ultra - Key Information

Feminax is a medication that is used to provide pain relief from menstrual cramps. Feminax is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Feminax works by blocking the body’s production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation.

Feminax is beneficial in providing relief from pain from various conditions such as headaches, tendonitis, muscle aches, menstrual cramps, and dental pain. It is also beneficial in reducing the pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by gout attacks, bursitis, and arthritis.

For more information on the medication patients should refer to the Feminax Ultra patient information leaflet.

Usage Advice

You should read the medication guide or patient information provided for in the information leaflet that comes with the product package before you start using Feminax.  Ask your doctor or your pharmacist if you have any questions about the use and safety of the medication.

Take Feminax by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 2 or 3 times a day with a full glass of water. Avoid lying down within ten minutes after taking this medication. Take Feminax with food, milk, or an antacid in order to avoid having an upset stomach.

To reduce the risk of stomach bleeding and other side effects, take Feminax at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Do not increase your dose or take Feminax more than directed by your doctor. For ongoing conditions such as arthritis, take this medication continuously as directed by your doctor. For arthritis, the full benefit of this drug may show after about two weeks of continuous use.

If you are taking Feminax as needed, you should remember that pain medication like Feminax works best when used as the first signs of pain occur. The medication may not work well if you wait until the pain has worsened.

Inform your doctor if your condition will not improve or if it will get worse.
