While tranexamic acid (Pause) is an effective medication used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding, it should not be given to a 10-year-old without a doctor's evaluation and prescription. Irregular or heavy bleeding can sometimes occur during her first few cycles as her body adjusts, but a pediatrician or pediatric gynecologist needs to determine the correct, safe dosage based on her weight and health history. Please consult her doctor before giving her this medication so they can safely guide her treatment and offer peace of mind.
