Cyklokapron Reviews
For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I take Cyklokapron 500 mg, 2 tabs 3 times a day for 4 days, along with 2 tablets of Naproxen twice a day, famotidine one tablet twice a day. I am 47 years old and am suffering since 2 years. Fibroids (stable size) but excessive bleeding requiring changes in double pads every 3 hours! The tablets are wonderful and I am very happy. Reduction in blood flow by 70%. No side effects. Have tried it for 1 cycle and plan to continue."
For Bleeding Disorder "I am 49yrs young and was prescribed this med. for long lasting, extremely heavy, clotting periods, at my wits end the Dr prescribed 2 tab (TDS) 3x daily, its has been 24hours now, what an improvement!! I noticed improvement overnight I went from using super pads every 2 hours to a panty liner today, no side effects (as yet).. what a relief, I wont use it all the time but its good to have hand when need."
For Bleeding Disorder "I was recommended this tablet a week ago and all its done is made the bleeding worse, going back to doc tomorrow ..... I fear something is terribly wrong .... Wish I had the positive experiences being shared."
For Bleeding Disorder "I used this drug to help with excessive period bleeding. 2 days later I was rushed to ER for a possible TIA (mini stroke). Symptoms, couldn’t see, headache, couldn’t speak, couldn’t read. This lasted for about 3 hours. Had to stay overnight in ICU. Had CT scan and all sorted of tests done to check for blood clots etc. completely freaked me out."
"I've had a termination of pregnancy (TOP) done a month ago and they gave me a depo shot after the process, I've been on my period ever since I'd rest for a day or 2 then back to bleeding again.... I then got cyklocapron about 2 days ago and all it does is minimize the bleeding yet I have brown spotting everyday and I'm on my 3rd day taking it. I need to have my life back I can't even have sex it's frustrating me. What can I take to completely stop the bleeding all together at least for 3 days"
For Bleeding Disorder "I have been having massive period pains for about a month after my miscarriage, been on tranexemic and still didn't respond, I took the Cyclokapron because long time ago when I stopped my contraceptive it kicked just after 2 days. OOOOOOOOOH LORD I was starting to go insane with this madness sickness, and now all that it has been resolved by this medication. Thank you to my doctor Naidoo in Langa Cape Town for the prescription you awesome doctor."
For Bleeding Disorder "I am using these 2 tablets every 6 hours and it has slowed down the bleeding but not completely gone yet. The only side effect I noticed and still have which is horrible is stomach cramps and diarrhea."
For Factor IX Deficiency "I suffer Acquired Angioedema. Ir's excellent to diminish angioedema episodes, rated at 250 mg.-daily. No side effects."
