Drug Interactions
Taking mefenamic acid together with drugs that block the CYP2C9 enzyme can change how safe or effective it is. It can also increase the harmful effects of methotrexate. Mefenamic acid may make ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers less effective in lowering blood pressure. The risk of serious stomach problems is higher if taken with aspirin. Mefenamic acid may reduce how well furosemide or thiazide diuretics help the body get rid of salt. It can also cause lithium to build up in the blood by reducing how quickly the kidneys remove it. Lastly, taking it with warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding.
Contraindications
Not recommended for people with inflammatory bowel disease, peptic ulcers, newborn babies, or women in the third trimester of pregnancy or who are breastfeeding. Also should not be used by those who have had coronary artery bypass graft surgery, severe kidney problems, or severe heart failure.
