Hi - I am a 50 year old woman (58, 126.lbs) - with no significant medical history (although I have just been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst) whos periods are becoming erratic and very heavy. I have been prescribed Ponstan to try and reduce heavy bleeding. Can you tell me whether using Ponstan will prolong my period? Also, should I stay on the prescribed dose of 2 tablets 3 times a day until the period has finished? Thanks Ruby
HelloThanks for your query. Ponstan would not at all prolong your period.IT would lessen the cramping and pain associated with the heavy bleeding. It does not affect the AMOUNT of bleeding per se. Yes, you should stay on the prescribed dosage till your period is over. All the best.
