Title: Tranexamic acid
Post by: Claireylou on March 22, 2017, 04:22:29 PM

I'm in the middle of an extremely heavy period. Managed to get an emergency phone consultation with my GP who has given me a prescription for tranexamic acid. Two tablets three times a day for four days.

I was just wondering how long these May take to work?

Thank you for reading xxx

Did a quick search and this popped up in another thread:

"By end of January, flooding was worse so took tranexamic acid again and period stopped 3 days before starting again.  ...... "
