Pharmacodynamics

Meclofenamic acid is a nonsteroidal agent which has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activity in laboratory animals.

Mechanism of action

The mode of action, like that of other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, is not known. Therapeutic action does not result from pituitary-adrenal stimulation. In animal studies, meclofenamic acid was found to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and to compete for binding at the prostaglandin receptor site. In vitro meclofenamic acid was found to be an inhibitor of human leukocyte 5-lipoxygenase activity. These properties may be responsible for the anti-inflammatory action of meclofenamic acid. There is no evidence that meclofenamic acid alters the course of the underlying disease.

Absorption

Rapidly absorbed in man following single and multiple oral doses with peak plasma concentrations occurring in 0.5 to 2 hours. The concomitant administration of antacids (aluminum and magnesium hydroxides) does not interfere with absorption of meclofenamic acid. Unlike most NSAIDs, which when administered with food have a decrease in rate but not in extent of absorption, meclofenamic acid is decreased in both. It has been reported that following the administration of meclofenamic acid capsules one-half hour after a meal, the average extent of bioavailability decreased by 26%, the average peak concentration (Cmax) decreased fourfold and the time to Cmax was delayed by 3 hours.

Volume of distribution
  • 9.1 to 43.2 L
Protein binding

Greater than 99% bound to plasma proteins over a wide drug concentration range.

Metabolism

Hepatic. Meclofenamic acid is extensively metabolized to an active metabolite (Metabolite I; 3-hydroxymethyl metabolite of meclofenamic acid) and at least six other less well characterized minor metabolites. Only Metabolite I has been shown in vitro to inhibit cyclooxygenase activity with approximately one fifth the activity of meclofenamic acid.

Route of elimination

Other metabolites, whose excretion rates are unknown, account for the remaining 35% to 62% of the dose excreted in the urine. The remainder of the administered dose (approximately 30%) is eliminated in the feces (apparently through biliary excretion). Trace amounts of meclofenamate sodium are excreted in human breast milk.

Half-life

In a study in 10 healthy subjects following a single oral dose the apparent elimination half-life ranged from 0.8 to 5.3 hours. Metabolite I (3-hydroxymethyl metabolite of meclofenamic acid) has a mean half-life of approximately 15 hours.

Clearance
  • Oral cl=206 mL/min

Toxicity

After a massive overdose, CNS stimulation may be manifested by irrational behavior, marked agitation and generalized seizures. Following this phase, renal toxicity (falling urine output, rising creatinine, abnormal urinary cellular elements) may be noted with possible oliguria or anuria and azotemia. A 24 year-old male was anuric for approximately one week after ingesting an overdose of 6 to 7 grams of meclofenamate sodium. Spontaneous diuresis and recovery subsequently occurred.

Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbacavirMeclofenamic acid may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level.
AbciximabThe risk or severity of bleeding and hemorrhage can be increased when Meclofenamic acid is combined with Abciximab.
AcebutololMeclofenamic acid may decrease the antihypertensive activities of Acebutolol.
AceclofenacThe risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Meclofenamic acid is combined with Aceclofenac.
AcemetacinThe risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Meclofenamic acid is combined with Acemetacin.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid excessive or chronic alcohol consumption. Ingesting alcohol may increase the risk of developing a gastrointestinal bleed.
  • Take with or without food. Taking meclofenamic acid with food reduces the rate and extent of its absorption; however it also reduces gastrointestinal upset caused by meclofenamic acid.
