Fm 49, prescribed 500mg tranexamic acid 4 times a day + ponstan 500mg 3 times a day for menorrhagia (first 5 days).could i reduce dose, i hate medicines?

Ask your Dr: But not sure about ponstan...Usually avoid more than 1000 mg per day. Thrombosis has not been ruled out as a potential complication of tranexamic acid and its use should be limited to instances where other less risky therapies have failed.
