Product details

Evana Heavy Period Relief contains the active substance tranexamic acid which belongs to a group of medicines called anti-fibrinolytics. These are used to control bleeding. When you bleed your body forms clots or plugs as part of healing. In some people these plugs do not stay in place long enough. This can cause too much bleeding. Evana Heavy Period Relief helps these plugs to stay in place and so reduces the amount of blood lost during your period.

Evana Heavy Period Relief is used only when your periods are regular to control heavy menstrual bleeding (see section 2 if you are unsure whether or not you have regular periods). Heavy menstrual bleeding can cause anaemia (reduction in red blood cells). People with anaemia may look pale and feel tired, weak, dizzy or faint. If you think you have anaemia, you should see your doctor.

• you are allergic to tranexamic acid or any of the other ingredients of this medicine

• you are under 18 years of age

• you are pregnant

• you have kidney problems

• you have or have ever had a blood clot, for example in your leg or lungs. See immediately below for the warning signs of a blood clot

• anyone in your family has suffered from blood clots in their blood vessels

• you have blood in your urine between your periods

• your periods are irregular

• you are taking medicines to prevent or treat blood clots (e.g. warfarin)

• you are taking oral contraceptives (‘the pill’)

• you have disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), a disease where your blood starts to clot throughout your body

• you have fits or seizures.

If any of the above applies to you, do not take Evana Heavy Period Relief.

Warning signs of a blood clot to look out for:

• pains or feelings of heaviness in your chest

• unusual pains or swellings of your arms or one of your legs

• sudden shortness of breath

• fainting

• coughing up blood.

If you experience any of these symptoms stop taking the medicine and seek urgent medical

advice.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before taking Evana Heavy Period Relief if:

• you are over 45 years old

Warning signs of endometrial cancer

Occasionally heavy periods may be due to an abnormality of the lining of the womb. One of the most serious conditions is endometrial cancer.

There are almost always other warning signs of endometrial cancer such as:

• prolonged periods

• abnormal bleeding between periods.

If any of the above applies to you, talk to your pharmacist or doctor.

Important: Regular and heavy periods alone are unlikely to be caused by endometrial cancer.
