Brief Answer:
Yes,it can be taken but only after the bleeding has started.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic.

The tablet pause 500 contains active ingredient tranexamic acid which is commonly used to stop heavy bleeding.

The recommended dosage is 2 tablets three times daily as long as needed for up to 3 to 4 days.

The dosage may be increased (4 gm daily) if you have heavy menstrual bleeding but should not be taken beyond that.

The drug should not be taken until your menstrual bleeding has started.After bleeding you can take it.
