Tranexamic acid
menstrual disorders
"I was prescribed this medicine for heavy periods by one of my doctors but wasn't told of the potential risks until another doctor in the same clinic told me that if it's a blood clotting medicine, it could then potentially clot your blood to cause things like stroke, etc.  I was prescribed 6 tablets a day and find that taking only one makes a big difference and my periods manageable to light.  The possible risk still makes me nervous so I take as little as I can to manage my out of control period."
