Blood Clotting (Hemostasis) Forums (Page 4)

I have irregular and excessive periods. I took Pause MF continuously for 4-5 months. Doctors diagnosed that the Endometrium thickness is 20 mm and gone for a D & C. Again for excessive bleeding I have to take Pause MF. I'm worried that it may lead to Endometrium thickness again. Is it so?? ## Pause-MF contains the active ingredients Tranexamic Acid and Mefenamic Acid, it is used to help control or prevent excessive bleeding. And no, I am not finding anything listed about it causing this problem, but have you discussed it with your doctor? They'd be the ones best able to advise you regarding this matter. ## Yeah, I discussed with my doctor. They say the thickness is not due to PauseMF and I can continue that for years nothing will happen. And for harmore imbalance they sugges...

My daughter's periods doesn't stop. She was prescribed Pause MF by her gynec doc. Does it have any side effects? ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, even over the counter products. Pause MF contains the active ingredients Mefenamic Acid and Tranexamic Acid, the first treats menstrual pain and the latter is used to help slow or stop bleeding. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, fatigue and melasma. You can learn more Mefenamic Acid details here and you can find more Tranexamic Acid details here. Her menorrhagia could be caused by a hormonal imbalance, it frequently happens with girls that are very young, since their bodies are still trying to balance things out for puberty. Did the doctor do any blood work to check?

Is it safe to take it? what is the maximum number of days can it b taken? any side effects?thanks ## Hi, Ann! How are you feeling? All medications carry the risk of side effects, including this one. It contains the active ingredient Tranexamic Acid and its side effects are usually related to gastrointestinal issues and may include nausea and diarrhea. Learn more Pause details here. It should be safe to use as long as you have your doctor's approval.

I have had 4 surgeries in the past 2 years and because I am prone to blood clots I have been taking lovenox twice a day (100 mg 2 times a day). I just had a doppler of my leg and the blood clot is still there. I do have an umbrella filter to stop the clot from travelling. How long can the body tolerate lovenox. I am sick of theses injections, and it is getting very frustrating. ## As far as body tolerance goes, I haven't come across many scenarios where people experienced side effects. So I can only assume that most people tend to tolerate it well. Lovenox (Enoxaparin) is a Heparin drug, thus only available as an injection unfortunately. There are other blood thinners available in pill form, but you would need to discuss your options with you doctor, as sometimes the oral version do...

Is there an alternative medication to lovenox that can be taken oraly or otherwise instead of shots? ## This is a Heparin drug, thus only available as an injection. there are other blood thinners available in pill form, but you would need to discuss your options with you doctor, as sometimes the oral version do not work adequately for all conditions. ## My mother started takin Lovenox shots and Coumadin beause of a blod clot in her leg. Since sarting those medicines she has been very nauseated. Could that be a side effect of either of those medicines and is there alternative medicine for both of them. Thanks for your help.

How does Lovenox bridge therapy work? I need an explanation in full detail. Thanks ## Lovenox contains the active ingredient Enoxaparin, it is used for its ability to thin the blood, to prevent clotting. Bridge therapy refers to using it, for its immediate effects, during a time period when the patient is started on a new medication, such as Warfarin, or when they are at higher risks of blood clots. The dosage of a medication like Warfarin must be carefully adjusted to get the desired results and like many medications, it takes some time to reach its full effect in the body. And since it does, the Lovenox is often used during that time period, to help prevent clotting in the patient, until the Warfarin or another medication can reach its full effectiveness, then the Lovenox is usually s...

My mother is taking pause-mf for heavy bleeding. Her doc suggested that she take it twice a day when her menses starts and continue it for 5 days... but is it really necessary to take it for 5 days? I mean if the bleeding stops in 2 or 3 days, shouldn't she stop taking it? ## Pause-MF contains Tranexamic Acid and Mefenamic Acid and it is most commonly used to help control bleeding. And she should take it for the amount of time suggested by her doctor, so it reaches its full efficacy in the body. But you might want to double check with her doctor to be certain.

my wife passed this fall from a pericarial hemorrhage due to angioplasty surgery should the drug noveseven been used. ## Very sorry for your loss. Have you consulted a doctor about what the proper procedure should have been? You can learn more about Novoseven here: This is usually used in people that have a congenital deficiency in this genetic factor, to help make sure they clot properly after surgery. If she had this deficiency, there would have been much greater risk if they didn't use anything to try to help her clotting improve.

My mom's 88 yrs. She has a pacemaker, AFIB, CHF, History of TIA's, and both her siblings had strokes. She has to have a bronchoscopy so they want her blood thicker. She's been on coumadin since 2009. Her cardiologist called her 'low-risk', and told her to stop coumadin 5 days prior to procedure, but my sister and I think lovenox is more appropriate? I don't get how they can say she's low stoke risk. Stroke is our biggest fear. ## Have you discussed your concerns with her and her doctor? His opinion of her being at low-risk is based on her current health and medical history, but by all means if you disagree you should say so. It may also be safer for her to taper for awhile before the procedure, rather than just stop abruptly.

I started my peroid 3 weeks back and its still going on i visited a doc 2 weeks back and started using etosys but its not helping i want to know how etosys works and is there an alternate madication ## Etosys tab contains: Ethamsylate 250 mg + Tranexamic acid 250 mg. The precise mechanism of action of Etamsylate is unknown, but it has been shown to reduce bleeding time and blood loss from wounds. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic and antihemorrhagic drug indicated for the treatment of severe localized bleeding secondary to hyperfibrinolysis, including epistaxis, hyphema, or hypermenorrhea (menorrhagia) and hemorrhage following certain surgical procedures, such as conization of the cervix. Tranexamic acid competitively inhibits activation of plasminogen, thereby reducing conversion ...

I have been taking Lovenox for 1 1/2 years for a DVT (ankle to groin) and multiple clots in my lungs (all four quadrants). No one can figure out WHY I grew the super clot...it did not reabsorb and is still there. I had a Tulip filter put in before surgery (remove ovary) because suspected cancer...pathology was normal, but the CA 'number' went down. I now have osteoporosis (my Dr. says is from Lovenox)...I don't want more clots, what am I to do???? ## Clots are generally related to one's diet and/or smoking habits. In my honest opinion the best way to clear blood clots is to clean your blood. The best way to clean your blood is to eat primarily fruits and vegetables in their fresh raw state. For something similar to a blood transfusion, I'd highly recommend a double s...

What is the substitute for the same in case not availabale here ## Pause contains the active ingredient Tranexamin Acid, which is commonly used to help stop bleeding.

I went for an op and they gave me an injection in my leg I don't know the name they said it was for my tromboses I have. But then the nurse gave me a second injection anand I started to bleed everywere they said my blood was to thin and that she was seposed to only have given me one injection got 2 plasma transfusions. Now I suffer from high blood presure I never had a problem with that. Can you please tell me if it is because of the overdose of blood thinner that they gave me or what? ## The one commonly given, in injection form, by doctors and hospitals is Lovenox, which contains the active ingredient Enoxaparin. I'm not sure if that's what you were given, but it is highly likely. It is unlikely that it caused high blood pressure, usually the thinning of the blood and blee...
