acid\u00a0Orifarm is an anti-bleeding agent.\u00a0It contains\u00a0tranexamic acid, which prevents the effect of the\u00a0enzyme\u00a0that dissolves clotted blood (\u00a0clot\u00a0).\u00a0This leads to less blood loss and a faster healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tranexamic acid contained\u00a0in\u00a0Tranexamic acid\u00a0Orifarm may also be approved to treat other diseases not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 1 day.<br><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Tranexamic acid Orifarm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Tranexamic acid Orifarm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that\u00a0Tranexamic\u00a0Acid Orifarm may only be used if you have regular, heavy periods.\u00a0For you to feel sure of this before you start the treatment, you must have answered yes to both questions that follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Are your periods regular, i.e. occurring at 21-35 day intervals?<\/li><li>When <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/menses\/\">menstruation<\/a> is at its heaviest, do you need to use double sanitary pads, pads, and tampons at the same time or double pads to prevent bleeding, or change sanitary pads bothersomely often?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not use&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Tranexamic acid&nbsp;Orifarm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to\u00a0tranexamic acid\u00a0or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><li>if you are being treated for blood clots, for example in the legs, lungs, or brain<\/li><li>if you are being treated for brain bleeding<\/li><li>if you are being treated for kidney disease<\/li><li>if you have previously had convulsions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using\u00a0Tranexamic\u00a0Acid Orifarm if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>have irregular periods<\/li><li>previously had blood clots and if blood clots have occurred in parents and\/or siblings<\/li><li>have <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/blood-in-the-urine\/\">blood in the urine<\/a> (between menstrual periods)<\/li><li>impaired kidney function.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Heavy periods can be due to diseases in the uterus, such as e.g.\u00a0muscle knots or\u00a0polyps.\u00a0If these are remedied, heavy menstruation usually disappears.\u00a0If you feel unsure, you should contact your gynecologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continued gynecological health checks are recommended.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are under 15 years of age, you should consult a doctor before treatment.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Tranexamic acid Orifarm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might be using other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneous treatment with&nbsp;anticoagulants&nbsp;(blood-thinning drugs) must only be carried out by doctors with&nbsp;coagulation&nbsp;as a special competence.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tranexamic acid&nbsp;Orifarm should be used during regular heavy periods and is not intended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is only limited experience of use during pregnancy.\u00a0If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tranexamic acid\u00a0passes into breast milk but is unlikely to affect children who are breastfed.\u00a0However, consult a doctor for more than occasional use of\u00a0Tranexamic\u00a0Acid Orifarm during breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving ability and use of machinery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Side effects&nbsp;such as e.g.&nbsp;dizziness and visual disturbances have been reported, which may affect the ability to drive and use machines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0A description of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Tranexamic acid Orifarm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.\u00a0Consult a doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment should only be started when the actual menstruation begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The recommended<\/em>\u00a0dose\u00a0for <em>adults and children from 15 years of age:<\/em>\u00a0Take 2 tablets 3 times daily as long as needed, but no more than 4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of very heavy periods, the\u00a0dose\u00a0can be increased.\u00a0However, do not use more than 8 tablets per day.\u00a0Another dosage\u00a0may be prescribed by a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tablet can be divided into two equal\u00a0doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the effect (reduced bleeding) is not achieved already after the first day, stop the treatment and consult a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\u00a0Tranexamic acid\u00a0Orifarm does not have a sufficient effect or if you cannot tolerate\u00a0Tranexamic acid\u00a0Orifarm, there are other methods to treat heavy menstruation.\u00a0Contact a gynecologist who can provide information about these methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have used too much Tranexamic acid Orifarm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ingested too much medicine or if, for example,\u00a0a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, contact a doctor or hospital for an assessment of
