What are the alternative non-hormonal options to stop my 13-year-old daughter?s month-long period, since PAUSE 500mg did not work and her doctor wants to avoid hormone pills?
Since tranexamic acid (Pause) hasn't worked, another non-hormonal option to help reduce bleeding is a class of medications called NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or mefenamic acid, which lower uterine prostaglandin levels. Because she has been bleeding for a month, starting an iron supplement is also essential to prevent anemia and support her energy. I highly recommend discussing a simple blood test with her pediatrician to check her blood counts and rule out thyroid issues or bleeding disorders, ensuring we find the safest way to help her body adjust.
