Hepatic effects: Borderline elevations of one or more liver function tests may occur. These laboratory abnormalities may progress, may remain unchanged, or may be transient with
continuing therapy. 

A patient with symptoms and/or signs suggesting liver dysfunction, or in whom an abnormal liver test has occurred, should be evaluated for evidence of the development of a more severe hepatic reaction while on therapy. If clinical signs
and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop, or if systemic manifestations occur (e.g., eosinophilia, rash, etc.), the drug should be discontinued.

Anaemia: Patients on long-term treatment should have their hemoglobin or hematocrit checked if they exhibit any signs or symptoms of anaemia.

Asthma: Mefenamic acid should not be administered to patients with aspirin sensitive asthma and should be used with caution in
patients with preexisting asthma.
