THE MECHANISM OF ACTION
Ponstel is a NSAID. Its proper effect is not known. It may block certain substances in the organism that are connected with inflammation. They do not cure the disease that causes those symptoms.
MISSED DOSE
If you miss a dose of Ponstel then you may take it as soon as you remember and adjust the remaining doses accordingly. However, if it is nearly time for the next dose then you may skip this dose and continue with the regular dosage. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose.
