Pregnancy interaction:
You shouldn't use Tranexamic Acid + Mefenamic Acid while you're pregnant unless your doctor tells you to.
Tranexamic Acid penetrates the placenta, and its safety during pregnancy is not well established.
Mefenamic Acid (NSAID) can be dangerous for the baby, especially in the third trimester when the ductus arteriosus may close too soon or the baby's kidneys may not work properly.
If you're trying to get pregnant or are already pregnant, talk to your doctor before using.
Expert advice:
Take the medicine exactly as directed, which is usually when your symptoms start, which is usually while you are on your period.
Stay away from alcohol because it can make your stomach hurt more.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had renal illness, a clotting disorder, stomach ulcers, or heart problems.
Do not use for therapy that lasts for a lengthy time.
Get medical attention right away if you have chest pain, trouble breathing, visual issues, or severe stomach pain.

How to use:
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Tranesma Plus Tablet is to be taken with food.
How it works:
Tranexamic Acid stops blood clots from breaking down by stopping the activation of plasminogen. This helps stop too much bleeding.
Mefenamic Acid stops the body from making prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and contractions in the uterus. This makes period discomfort less severe.
They work together to help manage heavy and unpleasant menstrual bleeding.
