- What it’s used for: Pain relief (mild to moderate) and menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) are common uses.

- Typical dosing (as prescribed): A doctor will specify the exact dose. A common regimen in many places is an initial 500 mg dose, then 250 mg every 6 hours as needed, not to exceed about 1,500 mg per day. Do not adjust dosing without medical advice.

- Safety and who shouldn’t take it: NSAIDs can cause stomach irritation and ulcers, kidney problems, and other issues. Use with caution if you have a history of ulcers, kidney or liver disease, heart failure, or are taking anticoagulants, other NSAIDs, or certain antidepressants. Not recommended in late pregnancy. Always follow a clinician’s guidance.

- Brand names in Germany: You’ll mostly find generic mefenamic acid (Mefenaminsäure) and various brand-name formulations. A pharmacist can confirm current brands available.

- How to obtain: Visit a doctor or gynecologist in Germany to get a prescription. A pharmacist can also advise on alternatives if you can’t obtain a prescription.
