I have a copper iud and i have been getting heavy 10 day periods here in australia they don't have lysteda is there any non hormonal med i could take?

NSAID: You can try on OTC NSAID, such as ibuprophen. If you start it before you start your period and take it around the clock, it may help. I usually recommend 600 mg every 6 hours.
