 5  Heavy menstrual bleeding No negative effects. As this medication works by increasing clotting I notice menstrual blood will often be more in the form of clots. Has been a miracle for me. Effectiveness is directly correlated to how soon you take the first dose after your bleeding starts. If you can take it straight away, it has the maximum effect. Reduces heavy bleeding to manageable levels and cramping associated with heavy bleeding. I only wish I had found this medication sooner. I take 2 x 500mg tablets 3 times per day for the first 3-4 days of a period. F 41 1 years

 3  sudden heavy bleeding I noticed v sharp pain behind the and lower leg sharp pain. I do not know for sure if this is due to cyklokapron however. I am going to take this for the second time as I have a transvaginal scan tomorrow and i don't want to bleed everywhere. I am already taking a small amount of provera to stop/slow bleeding. I cannot tolerate more than 5mg due to AFC (absolute fucking craziness) The first time I took it was a couple weeks ago for sudden flooding bleeding (a loss of 750ml blood volume) I stopped as the provera did a better job. But I had to lower the provera, hoping a day of cyklokapron will help with the scan. The scan is to figure out WHAT THE FCK IS GOING ON. Ain't it great to be a lady? I wish all those out there dealing with this to have some sort of miracle, cos it isn't easy to talk about and dealing with it and talking about it should be easier, but it isn't. F 43 5 days

 5  Very Heavy Periods Back pain. Feels like somethings is being pulled down my back, like blood moving. Doesn`t hurt that much just strange sensation My Doctor gave it to me as I have abnormally strong periods for my age and told me that if i felt anything bad to stop straight away. I am heavy for my age so she though i would be fine to take it like a grown up. It stops my bleeding for about 5 hours, so I can get on with normal life. Usually I would have to wear a nappy like pad in bed or my sheets would have blood on them when i woke up. I usually take it at least twice a day but my doctor said I could take it up to 5 pills. I am very anaemic and have to take medicine for that too. I was wondering if it would react? my iron tablets are maltofe. F 13 3 months

 5  Heavy Periods Blood seemed a bit 'dry' and didn't flow the same way. There was an increase in light clotting, but then again that's the idea. It works well for heavy periods. I used it for the 1st 3 days of my period each month. I think it was twice a day. I used it throughout my 20s, as I often haemhorraged and couldn't contain my monthly bleeds. Although it was expensive, a bottle lasts a long time. I have only discontinued it, as I suspect it is bad for your health longterm, although my female GP says it's not. It decreased the frequency of my anaemia and made periods more manageable. I advise trying it, if your GP suggests to. F 38 5 years

 2  control heavy periods. 15oo mg a day and it only slightly helped control amount of bleeding. Had to stop taking it after 2 days as it caused severe nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Felt like a bad case of the flu and I could not get up. When I stopped taking it, symptoms cleared right up within hours. Glad it helped others but personally would not recommend it. F 49 2 days

 5  heavy extremely long periods I have yet to feel any negative side effects after 3 months of use. I have huge fibroids (my uterus is the size of a 5-month pregnancy because of them), so my periods were lasting up to 3 weeks and were so heavy I was completely anemic and lethargic (not to mention unable to work or lead a normal life). I was slated for a full hysterectomy, but my doctor decided to try cyklokapron first and these first 3 months have been HEAVEN. My period is SHORT AND LIGHT! I have my life back! I hope it keeps working this well! F 38 4 days

 3  heavy period worked for the first 5 months like a charm then my period came back with vengence. After taking the drug (as prescribed by the doctor) my period was heavier (if that is possible) and 3 times longer. No medical proffesional I have seen can understand how debilitating this problem is. I usually walk out with the same advice: eat more red meat and get a hysterectomy F 46 3 days

 5  for really heavy periods I am still unable to feel any side effects related cyklokapron It has made a huge difference to amount of blood loss during menstruation. These tablets have made my periods lighter. I have become anaemic all my life due to really heavy bleeding. I wish i could of been taking these years ago. Now I can restore my Iron count back to normal with the help of Iron pills. F 42 4 months

 5  Very heavy periods/cramping Cannot directly relate anything to tablets. Taking 2 tablets, three times a day for 3-4 days of period. Has given a much needed respite from flooding and very painful cramps. F 45 3 months

 5  Very Heavy Menstrual bleeding I have been taking this medication for over 2 1/2 years now due to severly heavy menstural bleeding and cramping. Before being prescribed this medication , which I take 2 pills twice a day for every day of the bleeding, I was bleeding so heavily that I wound up in the ER/A&E. Not a pretty sight. This medication is a god send. It has cut the amount of bleeding down by about 25-30% and the cramps by about 25%. I used to not be able to get out of bed before when I was on my period, now I can just about make it through the day. And for some reason, either this medication or my moon cup(www.mooncup.co.uk) the length of my period has gone down by at least a day as well!! F 23 2 years
