“…In general, although pharmaceuticals are used to support the growth of livestock and in the prevention of diseases, the never-ending eco-toxicological effects observed on account of their extensive usage have recently turned out to be a perpetual threat to the ecosystem . Mefenamic acid is a fenamate class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (as well as analgesic, antipyretic) drugs that are generally administered to adults for the short-term treatment of many pathological conditions such as menstrual pain, osteoarthritis, muscle pain, tooth and headaches, musculoskeletal disorders, non-articular rheumatism post-surgical pain, and fever. − The pharmacological functionality of mefenamic acid is on account of its influence on cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways. This is also reported to cause an imbalance in the sex hormone production (effecting reproduction) and act as an endocrine disrupter. − Unregulated concentrations of mefenamic acid do not have any specific antidotes and include symptoms such as lethargy, drowsiness, nausea, hypertension, acute renal failure, respiratory depression, hepatic necrosis, vomiting, intestinal ulcers, colitis, epigastric pain, and gastrointestinal bleeding on account of accumulation of toxic metabolites in the human body. − Furthermore, in addition to the harmful effects generated in the human body, this pharmaceutical drug is reported to be extremely hazardous to the endocrine system in wildlife as well as aquatic ecosystem, where they are frequently detected .…”
