- Mefenamic Acid: Inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby reducing pain and inflammation.
- Dicyclomine: Relieves smooth muscle spasms by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to muscle relaxation.
