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.

My child is experiencing rashes all over the body, which sometimes appear in one area and disappear from another. He also has fever, sleepiness, and nausea. He has been taking Atarax 6 ml and Rantac 3.5 ml for the past day, but he feels very weak and even fell down while complaining of nausea. I got a CBC done, and his platelet count is normal.
