Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for consulting us.
Before giving you the answer I would like to explain certain facts:
1. The Pause MF she was originally prescribed can reduce menstrual bleeding by about 40%.
2. The second drug you want to try is like a nutritional supplement. It can help improve some nutritional deficiencies but no authentic research has proven its efficacy in reducing menstrual blood loss.
3. Best treatment for a girl of her age with PCOD, who is NOT pregnant is birth control pills, if she want to get normal monthly periods.
4. Pause MF contains Mifenamic acid & Tranexamic acid as active ingredients. In some countries it is available is separate formulations rather than as a combined preparations. So, may ask about these from a pharmacy.
Last but not the least if she is in trouble she should see a Gynecologist to get a prescription.
Hope this answers your query. Please feel free to write back if you have any other concerns.
Hope she gets well soon.
Regards.
