If heavy bleeding occurs during use of combined hormonal contraceptives (“the pill”, vaginal ring or patch), you should not start tranexamic acid, but consult your Healthcare professional.

Heavy menstrual bleedings can occur due to diseases in the womb such as myoma or polyps. If they are taken care of, the heavy menstrual bleeding decreases. If anything is unclear, you should ask your gynaecologist.

Continued gynaecological health controls are recommended.

Children and adolescents

Clinical experience with tranexamic acid in menorrhagic children under 15 years of age is not available.

Other medicines and tranexamic acid

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. If tranexamic acid is taken at the same time as anticoagulants, it could potentially affect the way that Tranexamic acid or the anticoagulants work.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

Tranexamic acid is indicated for regular heavy menstrual bleedings and is not intended for use during pregnancy. Impact of breastfeeding for the child seems unlikely at therapeutic doses. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you are breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

Side effects that can affect the ability to drive and use machines have been reported. If you feel dizzy or have problems with your eyesight you should not drive or use machines until the symptoms have passed.
