BS Medicine Episode #553: How to Slow the Flow – Tranexamic acid for heavy menstrual bleeding

In episode 553, James and Mike get Jen Potter back to talk about the last option we have for heavy menstrual bleeding – tranexamic acid. We talk about how it compares to placebo, NSAIDs, progestins and levonorgestrel intrauterine devices and go over all the numbers for benefits and harms. And then as always, we put everything into clinical context.
