Other studies reported that dysmenorrhea affects up to 90% of women of childbearing age to varying degrees (Weissman, 2004).The rationale of the study is to observe and collect safety and efficacy data on Camylofin Dihydrochloride 50 mg, Mefenamic Acid I.P. 250 mg tablet. The analgesic effectiveness will be evaluated by reduction in pain on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and on Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).
