I am four months postpartum and breastfeeding, and I am experiencing frequent and prolonged menstrual bleeding. Can I safely take Trapic MF tablets for three days to stop the bleeding, or is there another medication that can quickly stop the bleeding within two to three days?
It is relatively common to experience irregular bleeding postpartum as your hormones adjust. However, you should avoid taking the combination of tranexamic acid and mefenamic acid without consulting your gynaecologist first. While tranexamic acid is generally considered safe during breastfeeding, mefenamic acid should be used with caution. More importantly, prolonged postpartum bleeding needs a professional evaluation to rule out issues like hormonal imbalances or retained tissues before starting any treatment. Please consult your doctor, who can safely prescribe the correct dosage of breastfeeding-friendly medications to control the bleeding quickly and safely.
