Evana Heavy Period Relief 500mg - 18 Tablets

What is Evana Heavy Period Relief

Evana Heavy Period Relief contains the active substance tranexamic acid, which belongs to a group of medicines called antifibrinolytics. These medicines are used to control bleeding. When you bleed, your body forms clots or plugs, which are part of healing. In some people, these plugs do not stay in place long enough, which can cause too much bleeding. Evana Heavy Period Relief helps these plugs remain in place and 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.
