Hi. I am suffering from heavy and prolonged periods after I missed my period last month. My pregnancy test report came negative. I got my periods after one month and it is heavy and almost 10 days now and not reducing. I have Tranexamic acid 500 mg and Mefenamic acid 250 mg tablets earlier given by my gynecologist with me. Can I take it to stop my periods? Can anyone please suggest the dosage for the same?

This combo is correct for controlling bleeding. Dose: Tranexamic Acid 500 mg TID + Mefenamic Acid 250 mg TID for 3 to 5 days. Do not exceed without gynecologist supervision.

Hi, my son is 3 years old and weighs 15 kg. He had no problems at birth. Last month, he was having wheezing sounds in his chest, and the doctor prescribed an inhaler for 14 days. Now he is fine. Today, his blood report shows mild eosinophilia with an absolute eosinophil count of 584, eosinophils 8 percent, monocytes 9 percent, lymphocytes 51 percent, absolute lymphocyte count 3723, platelets adequate, and the remaining values, including IgE, are normal. We stopped the inhaler today as per the doctors prescription. I want to know what mild eosinophilia means, what the treatment is, and whether we should stop or continue the medicine since he currently has no cough or cold?
