1. What is Nexag and what is it used for
This medication is used to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and should only be used when your menstrual cycle is regular, 21-35 days, with no more than 3 days of individual variability in duration, and you are over 15 years old.
It contains tranexamic acid, which prevents the action of the enzyme that dissolves blood clots. This results in less blood loss and a faster healing rate.
2. What you need to know before taking Nexag
Note that this medication should only be used if your menstrual cycles are regular and heavy. To be sure, the answer to the following two questions should be affirmative:
- Are your menstrual cycles regular, i.e., your menstrual cycle lasts between 21 and 35 days (with no more than 3 days of individual variability in duration)?
- Do you need to use double sanitary protection, pads plus tampons, or double pads to prevent bleeding through, or do you need to change your sanitary protection very often?
Do not take Nexag
- if you are being treated for a blood clot, e.g., in the legs, lungs, or brain
- if you have severe kidney failure
- if you have a history of seizures (attacks or crises)
- if you are taking a combined hormonal contraceptive ("the pill", vaginal ring, or patch)
- if you are allergic to tranexamic acid or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6).
Warnings and Precautions
Consult your doctor before taking this medication if:
- Your menstrual cycles are irregular
- You have ever had a blood clot and your parents or siblings have had a blood clot
- You have had blood in your urine between menstrual cycles
- You have kidney failure.
If you experience heavy bleeding while using combined hormonal contraceptives ("the pill", vaginal ring, or patch), you should not start taking tranexamic acid; consult your healthcare professional.
Heavy menstrual bleeding can be caused by uterine diseases, e.g., fibroids or polyps.
If they are treated, heavy menstrual bleeding is reduced. If in doubt, you should ask your gynecologist.
Regular gynecological check-ups are recommended.
Children and Adolescents
There is no clinical experience with tranexamic acid in menorrhagic girls under 15 years of age.
Other Medications and Nexag

3. How to Take Nexag
Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.
The coated granules can be taken with a glass of water.
Treatment should be started when your menstrual cycle begins. The recommended dose for adult women and adolescents over 15 years old is 1 sachet 3 times a day as needed, for a maximum of 4 days. It is possible to increase the dose if the bleeding is very heavy. Do not use more than 4 sachets per day (1 sachet every 6 to 8 hours). Your doctor may prescribe a different dose.
If the effect (reduction of bleeding) has not occurred after the first day, discontinue treatment and discuss it with your doctor.
If you take more Nexag than you should
If you have taken more medication than you should, or if children have taken the medication accidentally, contact your doctor or hospital for advice on the risk and measures to take. Signs of an overdose may include dizziness, headache, nausea, diarrhea, hypotension, myopathy, and seizures. It may include a risk of thrombosis if you are predisposed.
In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
If you forget to take Nexag
Do not take a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose.
