Have you been prescribed Ponstan for a heavy period? NOT for pain?

Question

I have been taking Ponstan to reduce the severity of my very heavy and irregular periods. Has anyone used it for something other than pain?

Answer 1

the doctor prescribed ponstan. he said it was for the pain. but i found out immediately after i took those pills, my periods will suddenly become less 'heavy'.

Answer 2

Girlie you are better off without pain killers. I am not sure if "ponstan" is safe. I used to use 1/2 a combiflam and it worked fine. Any other light dose with "paramcetamol" also works. The best medicine which worked for me was taking a regular dose of "iron" supplements in the liquid form, something as an apple during the periods also helps.

But please check if your periods are of 3 days or 5 days or more. If your periods are less than 5 days there will be a lot of bleeding.
