| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Meclofenamic acid (MFA) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic drug. It inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis pathway and finds its application in the treatment of postoperative and traumatic inflammation and swelling. MFA functions in opening the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 2/member 3 (KCNQ2/Q3). |
