Q: if a woman has heavy bleeding and her doctor prescribes norethindrone acetate to stop the bleeding what happens to the blood ? is it safe to take mid period of the bleeding is too heavy ?

: Once the bleeding is stopped by the medication , the blood is retained within your circulatory system instead of being lost which is beneficial and helps to prevent anemia.
