Hi,
Yes, it is safe to take the medicine Pause 500 before hysterectomy. Pause 500 (Tranexamic acid) is generally prescribed to prevent heavy bleeding during periods. It should be taken with food. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Pause 500 should only be taken after the start of a menstrual period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
