Pausital Tablets
Tranexamic Acid & Mefenamic Acid Tablets.
Tranexamic Acid + Mefenamic Acid tablets are commonly prescribed for women dealing with heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) and painful periods (dysmenorrhea). Each ingredient addresses different symptoms, making the combination particularly effective in managing the challenges of intense menstrual cycles.
- Tranexamic Acid: This is an antifibrinolytic agent that helps control bleeding by preventing the breakdown of fibrin, a protein essential for blood clotting. By stabilizing clots, tranexamic acid effectively reduces blood flow, making it beneficial for women with heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Mefenamic Acid: An NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), mefenamic acid works by reducing inflammation, which can significantly decrease pain and cramping associated with menstrual periods. It also provides general pain relief for other menstrual-related discomforts.
Who can consume these Tablets?
This combination is typically recommended for:
- Women with Menorrhagia: Women experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding that disrupts daily activities or increases the risk of anemia benefit from tranexamic acid, which reduces overall blood loss.
- Women with Dysmenorrhea: Those who suffer from moderate to severe menstrual cramps find relief with mefenamic acid, which addresses the inflammation and pain that accompany periods.
- Those Seeking Dual Benefits: Women who need both bleeding control and pain relief during menstruation may be prescribed this combination for its effective multi-symptom relief.
- Reduced Menstrual Flow: Tranexamic acid stabilizes blood clots, which helps reduce the volume of menstrual bleeding. This is particularly beneficial for women with heavy bleeding, as it can help them avoid anemia-related symptoms, such as fatigue and dizziness.
- Pain Relief: Mefenamic acid reduces the prostaglandins associated with menstrual cramps, providing significant pain relief from period-related discomfort.
- Convenient Combination Therapy: The combination of tranexamic and mefenamic acids in one tablet reduces the need for multiple medications, offering simplicity and convenience.
While effective, Tranexamic Acid + Mefenamic Acid also carries some risks and potential side effects, including:
- Gastrointestinal Side Effects: Mefenamic acid, as an NSAID, can cause nausea, stomach pain, indigestion, or, in rare cases, stomach ulcers and bleeding. Taking it with food may reduce these effects.
- Increased Risk of Blood Clots: Tranexamic acid can increase the risk of blood clots, particularly for those with a personal or family history of clotting disorders, as it promotes clot stability.
- Kidney Issues: Mefenamic acid can impact kidney function over time, particularly in individuals with pre-existing kidney disease or those on long-term NSAID therapy.
- Allergic Reactions: Some people may experience itching, skin rashes, or other allergic reactions to the ingredients. Any signs of a serious allergic reaction (swelling of the face, difficulty breathing) should prompt immediate medical attention.
- Doctor Supervision: Tranexamic Acid + Mefenamic Acid should be taken only as prescribed by a doctor, especially given its potential risks in individuals with specific health conditions.
- Timing of Dosage: The medication is usually taken at the onset of heavy bleeding and/or painful cramping, rather than continuously throughout the month.
- Avoidance of Other NSAIDs: When on this combination, patients are generally advised not to take other NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin) to avoid additive side effects or increased risk of gastrointestinal issues.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Women who take this medication for heavy bleeding may benefit from diet and lifestyle adjustments that support iron levels, hydration, and overall well-being during their menstrual cycle.
