Hi Michelle,
Because Effient (Prasugrel) can put you at risk for serious bleeding, it may be a good idea to discuss this concern with your doctor before moving forward with treatment.
Linked below is an important warning message regarding the potential for serious bleeding that can occur: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a609027.html
NOTE: The bleeding mentioned in the warning section isn't necessarily related to bleeding that occurs during a menstrual cycle, so It's quite possible that it may still end up being fine for you to take. However I would always suggest playing it safe until further notice from your doctor, since you never really know what to expect from these types of medications.
I hope this helps!
