mefenamic acid and Infant, Premature, Diseases

mefenamic acid has been researched along with Infant, Premature, Diseases in 3 studies

Mefenamic Acid: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It is an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase.
mefenamic acid : An aminobenzoic acid that is anthranilic acid in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a 2,3-dimethylphenyl group. Although classed as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, its anti-inflammatory properties are considered to be minor. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, including headaches, dental pain, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Infant, Premature, Diseases: Diseases that occur in PREMATURE INFANTS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" There were marked inter-individual differences in some of the pharmacokinetic parameters after the first dose; peak plasma concentration (Cmax) varied from 1."1.29Pharmacokinetics of mefenamic acid in preterm infants with patent ductus arteriosus. ( Ito, K; Niida, Y; Owada, E; Sato, J; Umetsu, M, 1994)
" We recommend the use of MA for closure of symptomatic PDA in preterms, especially in those cases where indomethacin is not tolerated or when minute titration of its dosage is impracticable."1.28Therapy of symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in preterms using mefenemic acid and indomethacin.
