Paracetamol

An analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever.

Relief of mild to moderate pain, such as headache, muscle aches, menstrual cramps, and toothache.

Reduction of fever.

Mefenamic acid inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation. Paracetamol's exact mechanism is not fully understood, but it is believed to act centrally on the hypothalamus to reduce fever and peripherally to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis.
