About Anafortan MF Tablet

Anafortan MF Tablet is a combination drug primarily used to reduce abdominal pain caused by Intestinal colic, Biliary colic, Renal colic, Dysmenorrhea, Pancreatitis, etc. The colic pain could be caused by spasms or obstructions of the intestinal, biliary, or uterine smooth muscles. The clinical presentation of spasm could be acute, subacute or chronic in nature. These cramps can range from mild to severe.

Anafortan MF Tablet comprises two medicines: Camylofin (antispasmodic) and Mefenamic acid (analgesic).

Doing this relieves cramps, pain, bloating, and discomfort. Together, they effectively reduce pain.
