A member asked:
I have a very heavy menstrual flow for the first 36 hours. my period has just started and i am flying overseas tonight. is there anything i can do?

Limited options: At this late date there are few things that might help. Simply taking ibuprofen 600 mg every 6 hours may help a little and it is available over the counter. Tranexamic acid can be used for heavy periods but requires a prescription.
