Tranaxamic acid and femoston advice
« on: September 12, 2016, 10:08:10 PM »

Am currently on Femoston 1/10 and wondered if it still safe to use tranaxamic acid if my bleed is very heavy. Does anyone know? Am worried in case it is as heavy as before (I was only having periods once every four months which was why the flow was huge) I have been checked for fibroids etc and all normal..just terrified of being at work and having the flow be unmanagable. Just strated Femoston.

I have only just recovered from anaemia bought on by heavy flow of six months ago.

Any advice?

Thankyou Riverrunsfreexxxx

Maybe contact a Pharmacist in the morning?

What did your doctor say when prescribing it? Surely you would not have been prescribed both if there was a negative interaction?

I would check with the doctor or pharmacist. I had the same prescribed for heavy bleeding, though never used it, before being prescribed hrt. I feel like I have seen a contraindication listed somewhere, either the papers that came with the transexamic acid or with my hrt. One thing you could do for your first bleed on hrt is rake ibuprofen. I was able to reduce my heavy bleeds to manageable with starting ibuprofen at the first sign of a period and staying on it for a few days. I wouldn't expect the heaviness to continue once you are well on the hrt if it's giving you monthly bleeds. But you never know, mine at their worst were every month.
