Evana Heavy Period Relief – 18 Tablets

Description

Evana Heavy Period Relief 500mg Tablets – 18 Tablets

Evana Heavy Period Relief 500mg Tablets contain tranexamic acid, a medicine used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding (also known as menorrhagia). They help reduce the amount of blood lost during your period, making it more manageable.

⸻

How It Works

Tranexamic acid works by helping your blood to clot more effectively. It blocks the breakdown of clots that form in the womb lining, which reduces the amount of bleeding during your period. It does not affect your hormone levels or act as a contraceptive.

⸻

Directions for Use

For women aged 18 years and over: take 2 tablets (1000mg) three times a day during your period. Do not take for more than 4 days during any one period. Swallow the tablets whole with water. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
